SafeLine SL6/SL6+: Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness
CVE-2025-4994 is a high-severity authentication bypass by primary weakness vulnerability in SafeLine SL6/SL6+ from SafeLine, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 4.97 as the first without the flaw, so updating SafeLine SL6/SL6+ to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.33% 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 SafeLine SL6/SL6+ to 4.97 or a later version.

Official description
The SafeLine SL6 and SL6+ devices integrated into elevator emergency intercom systems are vulnerable to an authentication bypass. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication requirements and access the device's configuration service via the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface. Consequently, an attacker within wireless range can gain unauthorized administrative access to the device configuration.

The underlying weakness: Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness
The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
