CVE-2025-41015

7.5

TCMAN · GIM

TCMAN GIM contains a user enumeration vulnerability in the PDAWebService endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to confirm the existence of valid usernames via crafted SOAP requests.

Executive summary

An unauthenticated user enumeration vulnerability in TCMAN GIM exposes system user information, facilitating targeted credential attacks.

Vulnerability

This vulnerability occurs in the /WS/PDAWebService.asmx endpoint, where an unauthenticated attacker can leverage the pda:username parameter within a GetUserQuestionAndAnswer SOAP action to verify valid user accounts.

Business impact

The ability for an unauthenticated actor to perform user enumeration significantly lowers the barrier for subsequent brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this flaw represents a high risk as it facilitates reconnaissance, potentially leading to unauthorized account access and broader system compromise.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Update the TCMAN GIM software to version 20250401 or later to resolve the vulnerability.

Proactive Monitoring: Review web access logs for anomalous patterns of SOAP requests directed at /WS/PDAWebService.asmx, particularly those repeatedly targeting the GetUserQuestionAndAnswer action.

Compensating Controls: Implement rate limiting or blocking on the vulnerable endpoint via a Web Application Firewall to restrict unauthorized enumeration attempts until the patch can be applied.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: No (exploit_available: unknown)

Analyst recommendation

Organizations utilizing TCMAN GIM must prioritize the upgrade to version 20250401. User enumeration is a foundational step in the attack lifecycle, and mitigating this vulnerability is essential to preventing more severe unauthorized access scenarios.
