MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated DOC (DriveLock Operations Center) user account that holds the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege, which is included by default in the Administrator role; the attacker then makes a role-management API call to assign the Supervisor role. Exploitation is limited to DriveLock 24.1.x, 24.2.x, and 25.1 before 25.1.6, and the impact is meaningful primarily in cloud multi-tenant deployments - on-prem single-tenant installations are typically not affected because local admins already possess Supervisor-equivalent privileges, so no boundary is crossed. The key limiting factor is that the attacker must already control a high-privilege (Administrator-level) account. |
| Impact | The input CVSS of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) directly contradicts the description, which states the attacker must already hold the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege - this is a privilege-escalation flaw, NOT a remote unauthenticated compromise, so the PR:N metric appears incorrect and should likely be PR:H (the privilege ships by default only in the Administrator role). Verify PR with the vendor; treated honestly this is an authenticated privilege-escalation issue where an already-privileged Administrator (or an attacker who has compromised such an account) can elevate to the all-powerful Supervisor role. EPSS score is not provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code is referenced, so there is no evidence of active or opportunistic exploitation. Net real-world priority is moderate rather than critical: the headline 9.8 overstates risk because exploitation presupposes a high-privilege account, and the vendor explicitly scopes meaningful impact to cloud multi-tenant deployments (on-prem single-tenant admins already have Supervisor-equivalent access, making the escalation largely moot there). The principal threat model is a malicious or compromised tenant administrator crossing an intended authorization boundary. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A DriveLock Operations Center (DOC) user who holds the default Administrator role in a multi-tenant cloud deployment issues a crafted role-management API call that assigns the Supervisor role to their own or another account, bypassing the intended ceiling on their privileges. Because exploitation is a single straightforward API request (AC:L) over the network, a malicious insider or an attacker who has phished/compromised an Administrator account gains complete control. No public proof-of-concept is referenced at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
Privilege escalation in DriveLock allows an authenticated user who holds the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege to promote themselves or other DOC (DriveLock Operations Center) users to the Supervisor role via an API call, a privilege that is granted by default to the Administrator role. The flaw affects DriveLock 24.1 (24.1.*), 24.2 (24.2.*), and 25.1 before 25.1.6, and is most impactful in cloud multi-tenant deployments where it breaks the tenant/role boundary; on-prem single-tenant installations are typically unaffected because local administrators already hold Supervisor-equivalent rights. The vendor rates the issue at CVSS 9.8, but that vector uses PR:N, which contradicts the documented precondition that the attacker must already hold a privileged role - an independent assessment re-scores it as CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (authenticated, high-privilege actor). No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to DriveLock 25.1.6 or later, which is the fixed version for the 25.1 branch per security bulletin 25-008-DESPrivilegeEsc (https://drivelock.help/sb/Content/SecurityBulletins/25-008-DESPrivilegeEsc.htm); contact the vendor for the corresponding fixed builds on the 24.1.x and 24.2.x maintenance lines since the input does not confirm patched versions for those branches. Until patched, reduce exposure by removing or tightly scoping the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege from non-essential accounts, enforcing least privilege and periodic review of who holds the Administrator role, and auditing DOC role-assignment API activity for unexpected Supervisor grants (trade-off: strict role reviews may disrupt legitimate administration workflows and require coordination with tenant owners). In cloud multi-tenant environments, isolate or restrict DOC API access to trusted management networks and alert on cross-tenant or self-assignment role changes; on-premises single-tenant deployments carry materially lower risk because local admins already hold Supervisor-equivalent rights, so prioritization should focus on multi-tenant cloud tenants first.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CVE-2025-67793 is a CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) defect in the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC) role-management API. DriveLock is an endpoint security / device-control platform whose management console enforces role-based access control through roles such as Administrator and Supervisor; the 'Manage roles and permissions' permission is intended to let administrators administer role assignments, but the API does not adequately restrict which roles a holder of that permission may assign. As a result, a caller with the role-management permission can invoke the role-assignment endpoint and grant the Supervisor role to an arbitrary DOC user (including themselves), effectively escalating beyond the intended authorization boundary. Because the vulnerable behavior is a vertical privilege escalation gated behind an existing high-privilege permission, the input CVSS 3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is internally inconsistent with the reported prerequisites; the authoritative assessment instead treats it as PR:H, reflecting that the actor must already control an Administrator-level account. The affected CPEs are the DriveLock application bundles (cpe:2.3:a:drivelock:drivelock) across the 24.1.*, 24.2.*, and 25.1 pre-25.1.6 release lines. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis and the vulnerability is not confirmed actively exploited (not in CISA KEV).

Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
The 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege ships by default only in the Administrator role, so a high-privilege account is required (PR:H); the escalation to Supervisor yields full C/I/A impact via a simple API call (AC:L).

DescriptionCVE.org
An issue was discovered in DriveLock 24.1 through 24.1.*, 24.2 through 24.2.*, and 25.1 before 25.1.6. Users with the "Manage roles and permissions" privilege can promote themselves or other DOC users to the Supervisor role through an API call. This privilege is included by default in the Administrator role. This issue mainly affects cloud multi-tenant deployments; on-prem single-tenant installations are typically not impacted because local admins usually already have Supervisor privileges.
Executive ViewAI
DriveLock's privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-67793) affects versions 24.1.*, 24.2.*, and 25.1 before 25.1.6, allowing an authenticated high-privilege user to promote themselves or others to Supervisor, which can break tenant and role boundaries in cloud multi-tenant deployments. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the risk is heightened for cloud environments where role separation is critical. Leadership should prioritize access reviews and monitoring for unauthorized privilege changes until a fix is released.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict the 'Manage roles and permissions' privilege to a minimal set of trusted administrators; review and remove unnecessary Administrator role assignments; monitor and alert on API calls that promote users to Supervisor; enforce least privilege and separation of duties; for cloud multi-tenant deployments, review tenant isolation and consider additional access controls or segregation until a fix is available.
