CVE-2025-62180
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 · uneditedPega Platform versions 8.3.0 through Infinity 25.1.2 are affected by an authorization weakness that may allow authenticated users to access certain additional data via crafted URLs.
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 confidencePega Platform versions 8.3.0 through 25.1.2 contain a broken access control vulnerability where insufficient authorization checks allow authenticated users to access additional data beyond their intended permissions via crafted URLs. This is likely an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) issue where object-level authorization is not properly enforced on specific endpoints.

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 Pega Platform installation and versionLocate the Pega Platform installation and determine the installed version number. This is typically found in the system information, about page, or configuration files within the Pega installation directory.Affected if The installed version is 8.3.0 through 25.1.2 (inclusive)
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledVerify that Pega Platform user authentication is active. Check if user accounts exist and the authentication mechanism (internal or external) is functioning.Affected if Users can authenticate to the platform, enabling the exploitation path described in the CVE
-
Review access control configuration for the suspected endpointsExamine the Pega Platform access group and role configurations. Identify which endpoints or data objects may lack proper object-level authorization checks. Look for rules around pxCreateWork, pxRetrieve, or similar data access rules.Affected if Object-level authorization is not enforced on specific endpoints, allowing users to access data outside their intended permissions
-
Inspect access logs for suspicious URL patternsReview Pega Platform access logs and web server logs for unusual or crafted URL requests that may indicate IDOR exploitation attempts. Look for patterns where object IDs or parameters are manipulated.Affected if Unusual access patterns or unauthorized data access attempts are observed in logs
-
Audit user role assignments and data access permissionsReview user role assignments and data access boundaries. Check if users have permissions that exceed what they should legitimately require for their job function.Affected if Users have overly broad permissions that could allow unauthorized data access through the vulnerable endpoints
A user is affected if Pega Platform version 8.3.0 through 25.1.2 is installed AND users can authenticate AND object-level authorization is not properly enforced on the relevant endpoints, allowing unauthorized data access via crafted URLs.

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 · scopedApply the vendor patch for CVE-2025-62180 to address the authorization weakness. Until patched, monitor access logs for suspicious URL patterns and review user role permissions to limit exposure.
Upgrade to Pega Infinity version 25.2 or later (contact Pega Support for exact fixed release)
- Contact Pega Support (support.pega.com) to obtain the specific security patch or hotfix for CVE-2025-62180
- Request documentation on the fixed version number and any prerequisites for applying the patch
- Review Pega's release notes for version Infinity 25.2 or later to confirm the vulnerability is addressed
- Schedule a maintenance window to test and apply the security update in a non-production environment first
- Apply the patch or upgrade to the confirmed fixed version in production after successful testing
- Verify the fix by testing that the authorization weakness is no longer exploitable via crafted URLs
