DescriptionCVE.org

Rakuten Viber Cloak mode in Android v25.7.2.0g and Windows v25.6.0.0-v25.8.1.0 uses a static and predictable TLS ClientHello fingerprint lacking extension diversity, allowing Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) systems to trivially identify and block proxy traffic, undermining censorship circumvention. (CWE-327)

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Rakuten Viber's Cloak mode (privacy/circumvention feature) on Android and Windows devices contains a critical flaw that allows network monitoring systems to identify and block Viber traffic despite users' expectation of anonymity. Organizations with employees in restricted network environments or those relying on Viber for secure communications face exposure of user activity and potential regulatory compliance violations if this feature is actively deployed.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable Cloak mode via MDM/endpoint management policies; restrict Viber installation to devices without requirement for circumvention features; route Viber traffic through organizational VPN infrastructure for visibility and control; monitor network traffic for Viber usage patterns to detect DPI blocking events; evaluate alternative communication platforms with verified security postures; implement network segmentation to limit exposure of Viber traffic on sensitive network segments.
