CVE-2025-54303
CWE-1392Published: December 4, 2025· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Thermo Fisher Torrent Suite Django application 5.18.1 has weak default credentials, which are stored as fixtures for the Django ORM API. The ionadmin user account can be used to authenticate to default deployments with the password ionadmin. The user guide recommends changing default credentials; however, a password change policy for default administrative accounts is not enforced. Many deployments may retain default credentials, in which case an attacker is likely to be able to successfully authenticate with administrative privileges.
Risk Analysis
Thermo Fisher Torrent Suite 5.18.1 uses weak default credentials for administrative accounts, which are not enforced to be changed. This critical flaw allows attackers to easily gain administrative access.
No public exploit is known, but the vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.
Immediately change all default administrative passwords and enforce a strong password policy.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-54303 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.
