CVE-2025-12599
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 · uneditedMultiple Devices are Sharing the Same Secrets for SDKSocket (TCP/5000).This issue affects BLU-IC2: through 1.19.5; BLU-IC4: through 1.19.5.
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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceMultiple BLU-IC2 and BLU-IC4 devices are shipped with identical cryptographic secrets (keys, passwords, or certificates) hardcoded or pre-provisioned in firmware for the SDKSocket service on TCP port 5000. An attacker who obtains the shared secret from any single device can authenticate to all other vulnerable devices, enabling mass compromise.

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 device modelDetermine if the device is an Azure Access BLU-IC2 or BLU-IC4 by checking the device label, management interface, or system informationAffected if Device is a BLU-IC2 or BLU-IC4 model
-
Check firmware versionAccess the device management interface or use firmware version checking command/tools provided by the vendor to retrieve the current installed firmware versionAffected if Firmware version is below 1.20 (any version 1.19.x or earlier)
-
Verify SDKSocket service exposureScan TCP port 5000 on the device to determine if the SDKSocket service is listening and network-accessibleAffected if Port 5000 is open and accessible from any network segment that includes untrusted users
-
Test for default hardcoded credentialsAttempt to authenticate to the SDKSocket service on port 5000 using the documented hardcoded secrets (if known) or by consulting the vulnerability disclosure for the specific default credentialsAffected if Authentication succeeds with the factory default hardcoded secrets, indicating the device is vulnerable
A device is affected if it is a BLU-IC2 or BLU-IC4 running firmware version below 1.20 with the SDKSocket service on port 5000 accessible and authenticating using the hardcoded default secrets.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped1.20
Replace hardcoded/shared secrets with unique, device-specific credentials per device; implement proper secret generation, storage, and rotation mechanisms; update firmware to version 1.19.6 or later if available.
Blu Ic2 Firmware 1.20 and Blu Ic4 Firmware 1.20 (or later stable release)
- 1. Identify all BLU-IC2 and BLU-IC4 devices in your environment currently running firmware versions prior to 1.20
- 2. Review the device firmware upgrade documentation from the vendor (azure-access.com or relevant manufacturer)
- 3. Download the official firmware version 1.20 or later for your specific device model (BLU-IC2 or BLU-IC4)
- 4. Schedule a maintenance window to minimize operational impact
- 5. Backup current device configuration before initiating the firmware upgrade
- 6. Apply firmware version 1.20 to each affected device via the manufacturer's recommended upgrade procedure
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the firmware version on each device
- 8. Confirm that SDKSocket (TCP/5000) is now using device-unique secrets rather than shared secrets
