CVE-2025-59097
Unauthenticated SOAP API in dormakaba access manager
- Published

- Assigned by

Description
The exos 9300 application can be used to configure Access Managers (e.g. 92xx, 9230 and 9290). The configuration is done in a graphical user interface on the dormakaba exos server. As soon as the save button is clicked in exos 9300, the whole configuration is sent to the selected Access Manager via SOAP. The SOAP request is sent without any prior authentication or authorization by default. Though authentication and authorization can be configured using IPsec for 92xx-K5 devices and mTLS for 92xx-K7 devices, it is not enabled by default and must therefore be activated with additional steps. This insecure default allows an attacker with network level access to completely control the whole environment. An attacker is for example easily able to conduct the following tasks without prior authentication: - Re-configure Access Managers (e.g. remove alarming system requirements) - Freely re-configure the inputs and outputs - Open all connected doors permanently - Open all doors for a defined time interval - Change the admin password - and many more Network level access can be gained due to an insufficient network segmentation as well as missing LAN firewalls. Devices with an insecure configuration have been identified to be directly exposed to the internet.

Weakness
Affected products
dormakaba · Access Manager 92xx-k5
- affected 92xx-K5: All Versions
dormakaba · Access Manager 92xx-k7
- affected 92xx-K7: Older than BAME 06.00 must be configured
What to do
Solution: It is highly recommended to encrypt the communication to the Access Manager 92xx K5 via IPSec. The Configuration is described in the device reference manual. It is also recommended to secure the used communication port from external access. To encrypt the communication to the Access Manager 92xx K7, an mTLS connection can be set up. For new installations in combination with exos 4.4.x, HTTPS with self-signed certificates is activated by default. In existing installations, this must be configured manually. HTTPS with self-signed certificates can be configured at any time. The configuration is described in the device reference manual. It is also recommended to secure or close the used communication port from external access.
