CVE-2025-61830
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 · uneditedAdobe Pass versions 3.7.3 and earlier are affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized read and write access. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must install a malicious SDK.
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 confidenceAdobe Pass versions 3.7.3 and earlier contain an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized read and write access. The vulnerability is exploited through user interaction requiring the victim to install a malicious SDK that leverages this authorization bypass in the Adobe Pass library.

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.
-
Locate Adobe Pass library in your projectSearch your application codebase and dependency directories for the Adobe Pass Authentication library files (typically named adobe-pass-auth*.jar, adobe-pass*.aar, or similar depending on platform)Affected if The library is present in your project dependencies
-
Identify the installed Adobe Pass versionCheck the version metadata in your build configuration (pom.xml, package.json, gradle dependencies, or the library manifest file) for the adobe-pass-auth or adobe-pass librariesAffected if The version displayed is 3.7.3 or any version lower than 3.8.0
-
Compare against vulnerable version rangeReview the identified version number against the affected range: versions prior to 3.8.0Affected if The installed version is less than 3.8.0 (for example: 3.7.3, 3.7.2, 3.6.x, etc.)
-
Audit integrated third-party SDKsInspect your application build configuration and SDK integration code to identify all SDKs that interact with or leverage the Adobe Pass libraryAffected if Any SDK from unverified or non-Adobe sources is integrated alongside Adobe Pass
Your environment is affected if Adobe Pass Authentication library version 3.7.3 or earlier (any version below 3.8.0) is installed in your 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 · scoped3.8.0
Organizations should update Adobe Pass to a version newer than 3.7.3 once a patch is released, and ensure that only trusted SDKs from verified sources are integrated into applications.
3.8.0
- 1. Identify all deployments of Adobe Pass Authentication version 3.7.3 or earlier in your environment
- 2. Review the Adobe Pass Authentication 3.8.0 release notes for any migration requirements or注意事项
- 3. Ensure you have a tested backup of your current configuration before upgrading
- 4. Download Adobe Pass Authentication version 3.8.0 from the official Adobe distribution channel referenced at helpx.adobe.com
- 5. Follow Adobe's documented upgrade procedure to install version 3.8.0
- 6. After upgrade, verify that the Adobe Pass Authentication service is functioning correctly
- 7. Confirm that the version number reflects 3.8.0 post-upgrade
