## CrowdSec analysis

[CVE-2025-25231](https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/CVE-2025-25231) is a path traversal vulnerability in Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM that allows attackers to access sensitive information by sending specially crafted GET requests to restricted API endpoints. This flaw could be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially exposing confidential data to unauthorized parties.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 21st of January 2026.

Insights from the CrowdSec network reveal that the attackers trying to exploit CVE-2025-25231 are composed of a fairly even mix of opportunistic and targeted actors. Some attackers employ preliminary reconnaissance, while others use indiscriminate scanning.
In addition, according to the CrowdSec network, attack volume against CVE-2025-25231 has dipped slightly compared to the previous week. Although still commonly targeted, the decline suggests a cooling-off period. Long-term relevance remains, but attention is waning.

Attackers exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted GET requests to the `/DevicesGateway/apps/system-app-metadata/` endpoint with path traversal sequences in the `packageId` parameter, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive API resources such as API keys and admin user information.
