CVE-2025-54088
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 · uneditedCVE-2025-54088 is an open-redirect vulnerability in Secure Access prior to version 14.10. Attackers with access to the console can redirect victims to an arbitrary URL. The attack complexity is low, attack requirements are present, no privileges are required, and users must actively participate in the attack. Impact to confidentiality is low and there is no impact to integrity or availability. There are high severity impacts to confidentiality, integrity, availability in subsequent systems.
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 confidenceThis is an open-redirect vulnerability in Secure Access console versions prior to 14.10. Attackers with console access can craft malicious links that redirect authenticated users to arbitrary external websites, potentially leading to phishing or secondary attacks.

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 the installed Secure Access versionCheck the Absolute Secure Access client or console interface for the current software version. This is typically found in the About section, system information, or the admin console dashboard.Affected if The installed version is less than 14.10 (e.g., 14.9.x, 14.0.x, earlier versions).
-
Verify console access is enabledInspect the Secure Access configuration to determine if the management console interface is accessible to users. Check user roles and permissions to see which accounts have console login privileges.Affected if Console access is enabled and users with console credentials exist in the environment.
-
Review console authentication settingsExamine the authentication methods configured for the Secure Access console, including any settings related to session management and redirect handling.Affected if Console authentication is configured and active for any user accounts.
You are affected if your Secure Access version is below 14.10 AND the console interface is accessible to authenticated users.
