Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the login interface of an affected SICK Analytics product (Baggage Analytics, Logistic Diagnostic Analytics, Package Analytics, or Tire Analytics) and relies on credentials stored in the system's local database being usable for authentication (CWE-288 authentication bypass via an unintended authentication path). Limiting factors: only confidentiality is affected (no integrity or availability impact); exploitation depends on the local-database authentication mechanism being present and the Analytics service being network-exposed rather than segmented behind ICS network controls, which SICK's own cybersecurity operating guidelines recommend. The description does not name a specific toggle, but the vendor advisory SCA-2025-0010 should be consulted for the exact affected versions and whether a non-default configuration is involved.

Impact

The input provides a confirmed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N = 7.5 HIGH), indicating a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw affecting only confidentiality. However, EPSS is not supplied, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC is referenced, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The absence of exploitation telemetry combined with the niche nature of the affected SICK analytics products suggests this is a moderate-priority, not an emergency-tier, issue despite the HIGH score. A notable tension exists between the CVSS vector and the description: the vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated) while the description states that credentials stored in the local database 'can be used for the log in' - this reads more like an authentication-bypass/alternate-authentication-path weakness (CWE-288) than a pure no-credentials-needed flaw, so the exact precondition should be verified against SICK advisory SCA-2025-0010. Impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N), so there is no confirmed integrity or availability risk from this specific weakness.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker reaches the network-exposed login interface of a SICK Analytics application (e.g., Package or Baggage Analytics) and leverages credentials held in the system's local database to authenticate as a legitimate user without proper authorization, per the CWE-288 authentication-bypass pattern. The low attack complexity (AC:L) and lack of required user interaction (UI:N) make this straightforward once the service is reachable. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require independent development.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026

SICK Analytics products (Baggage Analytics, Logistic Diagnostic Analytics, Package Analytics, and Tire Analytics) allow unauthenticated network attackers to log in using credentials stored in the system's local database, bypassing the intended authentication path and exposing application data. The flaw is rated CVSS 3.1 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), so it is remotely reachable and low-complexity but affects confidentiality only, with no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV confirmation was included in the provided intelligence.

RemediationAI

Use SICK advisory SCA-2025-0010 as the authoritative source for the fixed release and upgrade each affected Analytics product to the version specified there; an exact fixed version is not provided in the input data, so the advisory should be consulted before remediation planning. Until the vendor update is applied, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability to the login interface through firewall rules or ICS network segmentation per SICK's cybersecurity operating guidelines and CISA's ICS recommended practices, accepting that this may limit legitimate remote analytics access. Also rotate credentials stored in the local database and review authentication logs for unexpected logins using local-database accounts, which adds operational overhead but helps detect or contain credential misuse; if local-database authentication can be disabled in favor of an alternate identity source, evaluate that change against operational requirements because it may disrupt existing user workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

At the root of CVE-2025-9914 is CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel): an unintended authentication route accepts credentials held in the application's local database instead of enforcing the intended login flow. The CVSS vector confirms AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, meaning the login interface is network-reachable, no privileges or user interaction are needed, and the result is strictly confidentiality impact (C:H/I:N/A:N) rather than code execution or configuration change. The NVD CPE entries use wildcard versions for all four SICK analytics packages, so the precise affected and fixed version boundaries cannot be inferred from CPE alone and must be read from SICK advisory SCA-2025-0010. Because these are ICS/OT-adjacent analytics applications, practical exposure depends on whether the login interface is reachable from untrusted networks; SICK's cybersecurity operating guidelines recommend ICS network segmentation, which reduces but does not eliminate the risk.

DescriptionNVD

The credentials of the users stored in the system's local database can be used for the log in, making it possible for an attacker to gain unauthorized access. This could potentially affect the confidentiality of the application.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

SICK’s Analytics suite-Baggage Analytics, Logistic Diagnostic Analytics, Package Analytics, and Tire Analytics-has a high-severity confidentiality flaw that allows remote, unauthenticated access to application data, and no vendor patch is currently available. Leadership should prioritize affected deployments in logistics and baggage-handling operations because the exposure is network-reachable and could reveal sensitive operational information until compensating controls are in place.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; restrict access to trusted networks or VPN, segment affected SICK Analytics systems, enforce allowlisting, monitor authentication and access logs, rotate local credentials where possible, and engage SICK support for interim guidance.
