CVE-2025-58385
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 · uneditedIn DOXENSE WATCHDOC before 6.1.0.5094, private user puk codes can be disclosed for Active Directory registered users (there is hard-coded and predictable data).
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 confidenceIn DOXENSE WATCHDOC before version 6.1.0.5094, private user puk codes for Active Directory registered users are exposed through hard-coded and predictable data embedded in the application. This information disclosure allows attackers to potentially predict or discover these authentication codes, enabling unauthorized access or user impersonation.

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 Watchdoc versionCheck the installed Watchdoc version through the application UI, or look for version information in the program's properties, about dialog, or installation directory metadata (e.g., version.dll, version.txt, or executable properties).Affected if The installed version is less than 6.1.1 (or specifically less than 6.1.0.5094 per the summary).
-
Confirm Active Directory integrationInspect the Watchdoc configuration files or administration settings to determine if the application is configured to use Active Directory for user authentication or user registration.Affected if Active Directory integration is enabled and AD-registered users exist in the system.
-
Inspect application binaries for embedded dataExamine Watchdoc executable files, DLLs, or configuration resources using a hex editor or strings utility to search for hard-coded or repetitive patterns that resemble puk codes or authentication tokens.Affected if Hard-coded, static, or predictable data strings are found embedded in the application binaries.
-
Review authentication logs for patternsIf access to authentication logs is available, review logs for AD user authentication events and check whether puk codes follow predictable patterns or repeat across users.Affected if Puk codes are predictable, repetitive, or follow a non-random pattern across different AD users.
A user is affected if Watchdoc is installed at a version below 6.1.1, Active Directory integration is enabled, and hard-coded or predictable puk codes are embedded in the application.
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 · scoped6.1.1
Upgrade to WATCHDOC version 6.1.0.5094 or later, which replaces hard-coded puk codes with cryptographically random values. Alternatively, if upgrading is not immediately feasible, implement additional authentication controls for AD-registered users.
Upgrade to WATCHDOC version 6.1.1 or later (or 6.1.0.5094 and later per official description)
- 1. Identify the current installed version of DOXENSE WATCHDOC by checking the application or configuration files
- 2. If the current version is before 6.1.0.5094 (or any version < 6.1.1), plan for an upgrade
- 3. Obtain the patched version (6.1.1 or later, or 6.1.0.5094 and later) from the vendor's official distribution channels (doc.doxense.com or update.doxense.com)
- 4. Before upgrading, backup all configuration files, databases, and user data
- 5. Review release notes for any migration requirements specific to Active Directory integrations
- 6. Perform the upgrade following the vendor's documented upgrade procedure
- 7. After upgrade, verify that the hard-coded puk codes are no longer present and that AD user authentication functions properly
- 8. Confirm the fix by checking that new AD users receive properly randomized puk codes rather than predictable values
