AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-48928 affects TeleMessage TM SGNL and involves the exposure of a core dump file to an unauthorized control sphere. The vulnerability stems from a JSP application where the heap content is similar to a "core dump," potentially including passwords transmitted over HTTP. If the heap dump is not properly secured, unauthorized parties could retrieve this sensitive data. This vulnerability, categorized as CWE-528, can allow attackers to extract credentials or confidential messages from exposed dump files, threatening both data privacy and system integrity. It has been added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, indicating active exploitation in the wild.

Description: The TeleMessage service through 2025-05-05 is based on a JSP application in which the heap content is roughly equivalent to a "core dump" in which a password previously sent over HTTP would be included in this dump, as exploited in the wild in May 2025.
