CVE-2025-24527
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Akamai Enterprise Application Access (EAA) before 2025-01-17. If an admin knows another tenant's 128-bit connector GUID, they can execute debug commands on that connector.
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 confidenceThis is a cross-tenant authorization bypass in Akamai EAA where the 128-bit connector GUID serves as the sole authenticator for debug command execution. An authenticated administrator from one tenant can execute debug commands on another tenant's connector by knowing that connector's GUID, bypassing tenant isolation controls.

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 Akamai EAA deploymentReview infrastructure for Akamai Enterprise Application Access components, including EAA Connector servers and EAA Admin console access. Check for EAA-related services, logs, or configuration directories.Affected if Akamai EAA is deployed in the environment
-
Check EAA version against patch dateAccess the EAA Admin console or check connector software version via 'eaa-connector --version' or the management interface. Compare the installed version/build date to 2025-01-17.Affected if The installed version predates the January 2025 patch or the exact version cannot be verified
-
Verify debug command interface exposureInspect connector configuration for debug command endpoints or administrative interfaces accessible via network. Look for debug-related URLs, APIs, or administrative ports in the connector configuration files.Affected if Debug command interfaces are exposed and accessible to administrators
-
Review tenant isolation configurationCheck EAA tenant settings and connector registration to confirm each connector is properly assigned to its intended tenant. Verify no cross-tenant access permissions exist in the EAA admin policies.Affected if Tenant isolation controls are misconfigured or connectors share authentication credentials across tenants
-
Audit connector GUID exposureReview access logs for debug commands referencing connector GUIDs that do not match the administrator's tenant. Search for unusual debug API calls in connector and EAA logs using GUID patterns.Affected if Debug commands were executed with connector GUIDs from other tenants, indicating the vulnerability was exploited
A user is affected if Akamai EAA is deployed with a version predating the January 2025 patch and debug command interfaces are accessible, allowing cross-tenant GUID-based access.

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 dataEnsure Akamai EAA is updated to version on or after 2025-01-17. Consider rotating connector GUIDs if suspected exposure occurred. Verify tenant isolation policies are functioning correctly.
