CVE-2025-66377
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 · uneditedPexip Infinity before 39.0 has Missing Authentication for a Critical Function in a product-internal API, allowing an attacker (who already has access to execute code on one node within a Pexip Infinity installation) to impact the operation of other nodes within the installation.
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 confidencePexip Infinity before version 39.0 contains a missing authentication vulnerability in a product-internal API. An attacker who has already achieved code execution on one node within a Pexip Infinity installation can exploit this unauthenticated internal API to impact the operation of other nodes in the same installation, enabling lateral movement across the cluster.

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 Pexip Infinity installation versionAccess the Pexip Infinity admin interface and navigate to the Dashboard or System > About page to view the installed software version. Alternatively, use the command line on a Pexip node: pexctl status or check /opt/pexip/etc/version if accessible.Affected if The displayed version number is below 39.0 (for example, 38.x, 37.x, or earlier).
-
Verify cluster configurationCheck if multiple nodes are deployed in the Pexip Infinity installation by accessing the admin interface under Platform > Nodes or by running pexctl show nodes on the command line.Affected if Multiple nodes exist in the cluster and the version is below 39.0, as the vulnerability enables lateral movement between nodes.
-
Confirm internal API accessibilityReview network segmentation between Pexip nodes. The product-internal API used for inter-node communication should be accessible within the cluster network. This is the default state for Pexip Infinity clusters.Affected if Inter-node communication is permitted and the version is below 39.0, allowing exploitation of the unauthenticated internal API.
You are affected if your Pexip Infinity installation is running any version prior to 39.0 and an attacker has already achieved code execution on at least one node in the cluster, enabling them to move laterally via the unauthenticated internal API.

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 · scoped39.0
Upgrade Pexip Infinity to version 39.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Since the vulnerability assumes prior node compromise, also conduct a security investigation to determine the extent of any existing breach.
Pexip Infinity 39.0 or later
- 1. Back up your Pexip Infinity configuration and data before upgrading.
- 2. Review the official Pexip upgrade documentation at docs.pexip.com for your current version.
- 3. Plan your upgrade window, ensuring sufficient downtime for the migration.
- 4. Upgrade Pexip Infinity to version 39.0 or later.
- 5. After upgrade, verify that the product-internal API now properly requires authentication between nodes.
- 6. Confirm all nodes in the installation are running the updated version and are functioning correctly.
