Baggage Analytics: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
CVE-2025-9914 is a high-severity authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability in Baggage Analytics from SICK, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 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 4.6.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating Baggage Analytics 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 Baggage Analytics to 4.6.3 or a later version.
- Update Tire Analytics to 4.6.3 or a later version.
- Update Package Analytics to 4.6.3 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on sick.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

The underlying weakness: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Funnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
