MeetMe: Insufficiently Protected Credentials
CVE-2025-2908 is a high-severity insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in MeetMe from Fermax, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.5 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2024-09 as the first without the flaw, so updating MeetMe to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update MeetMe to 2024-09 or a later version.

The underlying weakness: Insufficiently Protected Credentials
The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use an appropriate security mechanism to protect the credentials.
- Make appropriate use of cryptography to protect the credentials.
- Use industry standards to protect the credentials (e.g. LDAP, keystore, etc.).
