Overview

CVE-2025-56689 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 3, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.6 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.6, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

One Identity by Quest Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance 7.5.1.20903 is vulnerable to One Time Password (OTP)/Multifactor Authentication (MFA) bypass using response manipulation. An attacker who intercepts or captures a valid OTP response can bypass the OTP verification step by replaying the same response. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because, by design, the product successfully authenticates a client that possesses a cookie whose validity time interval includes the current time, and thus authentication after any type of "interception" is not a violation of the security model. (The cookie has the HttpOnly attribute.)

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
