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
CVE-2025-49083 is a vulnerability in the management console of Absolute Secure Access after version 12.00 and prior to version 13.56. Attackers with administrative access to the console can cause unsafe content to be deserialized and executed in the security context of the console. The attack complexity is low and there are no attack requirements. Privileges required are high and there is no user interaction required. The impact to confidentiality is low, impact to integrity is high and there is no impact to availability. The impact to the confidentiality and integrity of subsequent systems is low and there is no subsequent system impact to availability.

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

This is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in the Absolute Secure Access management console affecting versions after 12.00 and before 13.56. Attackers with administrative console access can cause malicious content to be deserialized and executed within the console's security context, leading to high integrity impact.

MitigationUpgrade the Absolute Secure Access management console to version 13.56 or later to address the unsafe deserialization flaw. Since administrative access is required, ensure console access is strictly limited and monitor for unauthorized administrative sessions.

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 installed Absolute Secure Access version
    Check the management console or system information for the Absolute Secure Access version number. This is typically found in the console's About page, system diagnostics, or installed software listing.
    Affected if The installed version is 12.00 or any version from 12.01 through 13.55 (versions >= 12.00 but < 13.56).
  2. Verify administrative user access configuration
    Review the management console's user authentication settings and administrative account configuration. Check for any unexpected or unauthorized administrative accounts.
    Affected if Multiple administrative accounts exist or unauthorized administrative sessions are active.

A user is affected if their Absolute Secure Access management console version is 12.00 through 13.55 (less than 13.56) and the console is accessible, since the unsafe deserialization flaw requires administrative console access to be exploited.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 13.56 or later
Fixed in 13.56
Interim mitigation

Upgrade the Absolute Secure Access management console to version 13.56 or later to address the unsafe deserialization flaw. Since administrative access is required, ensure console access is strictly limited and monitor for unauthorized administrative sessions.

Recommended fix High confidence

Absolute Secure Access version 13.56

  1. Backup the current Absolute Secure Access configuration before initiating the upgrade
  2. Upgrade Absolute Secure Access from the current version (12.00 or later, but less than 13.56) to version 13.56 or later
  3. After upgrade, verify that the management console is accessible and functioning normally
  4. Confirm the deserialization vulnerability is no longer present by reviewing system integrity
