CWE-257Published: December 15, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
NetSupport Manager < 14.12.0001 relies on a shared Gateway Key for authentication between Manager/Control, Client, and Connectivity Server components. The key is stored using a reversible encoding scheme. An attacker who obtains access to a deployed client configuration file can decode the stored value to recover the plaintext Gateway Key. Possession of the Gateway Key allows unauthorized access to NetSupport Manager connectivity services and enables remote control of systems managed through the same key.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-34180 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
