CVE-2025-14611
Published: December 15, 2025
Official Description
Gladinet CentreStack and TrioFox contain a hardcoded cryptographic keys vulnerability for their implementation of the AES cryptoscheme. This vulnerability 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.
CISA KEV Advisory
Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox Hard Coded Cryptographic Vulnerability
Gladinet CentreStack and TrioFox contain a hardcoded cryptographic keys vulnerability for their implementation of the AES cryptoscheme. This vulnerability 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.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Risk Analysis
This critical-severity vulnerability in Gladinet CentreStack and TrioFox stems from hardcoded cryptographic keys, leading to degraded security for public-facing endpoints. It allows arbitrary local file inclusion without authentication via specially crafted requests. With a CVSS score of 9.8 and inclusion in CISA's KEV, this flaw is extremely severe and actively exploited.
Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild. It is remotely exploitable without authentication, making it a critical threat.
Organizations using Gladinet CentreStack and TrioFox must apply all available security updates immediately. Review and harden configurations for public-exposed endpoints.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-14611 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
CISA has added CVE-2025-14611 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
