## Description

HYDRA X, MIP 2 and FEDRA 2 of MPDV Mikrolab GmbH suffer from an unauthenticated local file disclosure vulnerability in all releases until Maintenance Pack 36 with Servicepack 8 (week 36/2025), which allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the Windows operating system. The "Filename" parameter of the public $SCHEMAS$ ressource is vulnerable and can be exploited easily.

## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2025-12055](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2025-12055) is a local file disclosure vulnerability affecting HYDRA X, MIP 2, and FEDRA 2 by MPDV Mikrolab GmbH, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the Windows operating system via the vulnerable "Filename" parameter in the $SCHEMAS$ resource. This flaw could be exploited remotely to access sensitive information, potentially leading to further attacks such as credential theft or reconnaissance.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 10th of December 2025.

CrowdSec network observations suggest that most exploitation of CVE-2025-12055 involves focused reconnaissance to identify viable targets. Attackers typically tailor their campaigns based on system exposure and configuration. It is unlikely that a given attack is accidental.
Telemetry from the CrowdSec network also shows that exploitation activity for CVE-2025-12055 remains steady week-over-week.
