Pega Infinity: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-62180 is a high-severity authorization bypass through user-controlled key vulnerability in Pega Infinity from Pegasystems, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 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 Infinity 25.1.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating Pega Infinity to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Pega Platform versions 8.3.0 through Infinity 25.1.2 are affected by an authorization weakness that may allow authenticated users to access certain additional data via crafted URLs.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
  • Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
  • Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
