CVE-2025-32367NVD status: Deferred

face recognition application: Direct Request

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-32367 is a high-severity direct request vulnerability in face recognition application from Oz Forensics, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 4.0.8 late 2023 as the first without the flaw, so updating face recognition application to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

What to do

  1. Update face recognition application to 4.0.8 late 2023 or a later version.

The underlying weakness: Direct Request

The web application does not adequately enforce appropriate authorization on all restricted URLs, scripts, or files.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Apply appropriate access control authorizations for each access to all restricted URLs, scripts or files.
  • Consider using MVC based frameworks such as Struts.
