Description

BMC FootPrints ITSM versions 20.20.02 through 20.24.01.001 contain a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in the ASP.NET servlet's VIEWSTATE handling that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. Attackers can supply crafted serialized objects to the VIEWSTATE parameter to achieve remote code execution and fully compromise the application. The following hotfixes remediate the vulnerability: 20.20.02, 20.20.03.002, 20.21.01.001, 20.21.02.002, 20.22.01, 20.22.01.001, 20.23.01, 20.23.01.002, and 20.24.01.

psychologyCrowdSec Analysis

CVE-2025-71260 is a high-severity vulnerability in BMC FootPrints ITSM versions 20.20.02 through 20.24.01.001, where improper handling of VIEWSTATE deserialization in the ASP.NET servlet allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code. By sending specially crafted serialized objects to the VIEWSTATE parameter, attackers can achieve remote code execution and potentially gain full control over the affected application. This flaw poses a significant risk of system compromise and data breach within vulnerable environments.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 1st of April 2026.

CrowdSec has not observed any significant exploitation activity targeting CVE-2025-71260 across its network. As a result, no community-driven trend analysis is available for this vulnerability at this time.

Attackers exploit the /footprints/servicedesk/aspnetconfig endpoint by sending malicious serialized data in the __VIEWSTATE parameter, enabling remote code execution through Java deserialization vulnerabilities. Subsequent requests to attacker-controlled .jsp files on the server confirm successful exploitation.
