Delphix: Improper Access Control
CVE-2025-3113 is a critical-severity improper access control vulnerability in Delphix from Perforce, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 2025.2.0.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating Delphix to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Delphix to 2025.2.0.1 or a later version.

Official description
A valid, authenticated user with sufficient privileges and who is aware of Continuous Compliance’s internal database configurations can leverage the application’s built-in Connector functionality to access Continuous Compliance’s internal database. This allows the user to explore the internal database schema and export its data, including the properties of Connecters and Rule Sets.

The underlying weakness: Improper Access Control
The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
