CVE-2024-25652
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn Delinea PAM Secret Server 11.4, it is possible for a user assigned "Administer Reports" permission and/or with access to Report functionality via UNLIMITED ADMIN MODE (with access to the Report functionality) to gain unauthorized access to remote sessions created by legitimate users through information obtained from the Custom Legacy Report functionality.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Secret Server versionCheck the installed version of Delinea Secret Server in the system administration or about section. Look for version 11.4.000000 specifically.Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.4.000000

-
Inspect Custom Legacy Report settingsNavigate to the reporting or custom report configuration area in Secret Server. Look for any Custom Legacy Report configurations or templates that may expose sensitive information.Affected if Custom Legacy Reports are configured and accessible to users with the permissions described above
-
Review remote session access logsCheck the audit logs or session history for remote sessions. Look for unauthorized access patterns or sessions initiated by users who should not have access.Affected if Remote sessions were accessed by users without proper authorization

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict or audit the 'Administer Reports' permission to only essential personnel, limit UNLIMITED ADMIN MODE access to Report functionality, and review user access to remote sessions for indicators of compromise. Contact Delinea for patches.
