Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N indicates a medium-to-high severity issue with network accessibility, low attack complexity, and low privilege requirements (an attacker must already be authenticated). The confidentiality impact is high, but integrity and availability are unaffected. The key differentiator is the PR:L requirement—this is not a zero-day unauthenticated bypass but rather a privilege escalation or lateral access flaw affecting existing users. Without published EPSS data or KEV inclusion status, the real-world priority depends on the prevalence of GateManager deployments and whether active exploitation has been observed in the wild. The attack is non-interactive (UI:N), making it suitable for automated exploitation by insiders or compromised accounts. Organizations running GateManager should prioritize patching based on their exposure and data sensitivity, particularly if the product manages critical industrial control or remote access infrastructure.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a standard user account on GateManager gains access to the system through credential theft or insider action. By crafting a specially formed request to the webserver's authentication module or manipulating their session token, the attacker bypasses permission checks and accesses sensitive administrative data or configurations without proper authorization. Since the attack requires network access and an authenticated account but has low complexity, an insider or attacker with a compromised standard account could exploit this repeatedly and covertly.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 19, 2026

An improper authentication vulnerability in Secomea GateManager's webserver modules allows authenticated users to bypass authentication controls and access resources they should not be permitted to access. This affects GateManager version 11.4.0 and potentially other versions within the 11.4 release line. An attacker with valid login credentials can exploit this flaw to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, achieving high confidentiality impact without modifying data or degrading availability.

RemediationAI

Apply the security patch provided by Secomea for GateManager 11.4.0 and any other affected versions referenced in the official advisory at https://www.secomea.com/support/cybersecurity-advisory/. Perform a full system upgrade to the patched version following the vendor's documented upgrade procedure. As an interim mitigation, enforce strict network access controls to restrict GateManager webserver access to trusted IP ranges, implement session timeout policies to limit the window of exposure for compromised credentials, and monitor authentication logs for suspicious privilege escalation attempts or unusual resource access patterns. Review and audit existing user sessions and permissions to detect any unauthorized access that may have already occurred.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in the webserver authentication modules of Secomea GateManager (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:secomea:gatemanager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), classified under CWE-287 (Improper Authentication). CWE-287 encompasses flaws in authentication logic where the application fails to properly verify user identity or session validity before granting access to protected resources. In this case, the webserver's authentication handler likely contains a logic defect that allows a low-privileged authenticated session to escalate or bypass permission checks, possibly through session token manipulation, authentication state confusion, or incomplete privilege validation in the request-handling pipeline.
