How CVE-2025-48928 Works:
The vulnerability exists in TeleMessage’s JSP application where HTTP-transmitted passwords remain in heap memory. When the service generates heap dumps (similar to core dumps), these sensitive credentials become exposed. Attackers can exploit this by triggering memory dumps through specific requests or system crashes, then extracting passwords from the resulting dump files. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous as it affects all HTTP communications with the service, not just authentication endpoints.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: TeleMessage
Version: <= 2025-05-05
Vulnerability: Heap memory exposure
Severity: Critical
Date: 2025-05-28
Prediction: Patch by 2025-08-15
What Undercode Say:
$ heapdump_analyzer --service=telemessage --cve=CVE-2025-48928
Memory scan pattern for exposed credentials:
\x50\x41\x53\x53\x3D([^\x00]{4,32})
How Exploit:
1. Force heap dump via memory exhaustion
2. Access dump files through admin interface
3. Extract credentials using memory forensics
4. Reuse passwords for lateral movement
Protection from this CVE:
- Upgrade to patched version
- Enable memory sanitization
- Restrict heap dump access
- Rotate all exposed credentials
Impact:
- Credential theft
- Account takeover
- Service compromise
- Data exfiltration
