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 · unedited
In Proget MDM, a low-privileged user can retrieve passwords for managed devices and subsequently use functionalities restricted by the MDM (Mobile Device Management). For it to happen, they must know the UUIDs of targetted devices, which might be obtained by exploiting CVE-2025-1415 or CVE-2025-1417. This issue has been fixed in 2.17.5 version of Konsola Proget (server part of the MDM suite).

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 · high confidence

In Proget MDM, a low-privileged user can retrieve passwords for managed devices by exploiting insufficient authorization controls, allowing them to bypass MDM restrictions. The attacker requires device UUIDs which may be obtained through CVE-2025-1415 or CVE-2025-1417, making this part of a chained attack vector.

MitigationUpgrade Konsola Proget (server component of MDM suite) to version 2.17.5 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Konsola Proget installation and version
    Locate the Proget MDM server installation directory or check the application version banner in the MDM console. Common paths include /opt/proget or C:\Program Files\Proget on Windows servers. Check the 'About' or 'System Info' page in the MDM administrative web interface.
    Affected if The installed version of Konsola Proget is below 2.17.5 (for example, 2.17.4, 2.16.x, or earlier)
  2. Verify user role configuration
    Access the user management or role administration section in the Proget MDM console. Review which roles are assigned to standard or low-privileged user accounts, specifically checking for access to device management features.
    Affected if Standard non-administrative user accounts have been granted permissions to access device management or inventory features in the MDM system
  3. Confirm device UUID exposure pathway
    Check if device UUIDs are accessible to standard users through the MDM API, web interface, or through exploitation of CVE-2025-1415 (if present). Query the device listing API endpoint accessible to low-privileged users.
    Affected if Device UUIDs can be retrieved by a low-privileged user without administrative credentials
  4. Test device password retrieval API access
    Using a low-privileged account, attempt to query the device password retrieval endpoint using a known device UUID. This typically involves a GET or POST request to an API path such as /api/devices/{uuid}/password or similar device credential retrieval function.
    Affected if A low-privileged user can successfully retrieve plaintext or encoded passwords for managed devices by providing device UUIDs

Your environment is affected if the Konsola Proget version is below 2.17.5 AND low-privileged users can access device UUIDs AND the password retrieval API endpoint is accessible to non-administrative accounts.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Konsola Proget (server component of MDM suite) to version 2.17.5 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.17.5

  1. 1. Back up the current Proget MDM installation and database before upgrading
  2. 2. Download version 2.17.5 of Konsola Proget (the server component of the MDM suite) from the official vendor source
  3. 3. Apply the upgrade following the standard Proget upgrade procedure for your deployment method (installer, Docker, or manual update)
  4. 4. After upgrading, verify the Konsola Proget version displays as 2.17.5 to confirm successful installation
  5. 5. Test that low-privileged users can no longer retrieve device passwords or access MDM-restricted functionalities
