Impact

The risk assessment presents a mixed signal. While CVSS and CVSS vector data are not provided, the CWE-352 classification indicates a moderate-to-high severity vulnerability typical of CSRF issues (usually CVSS 6-8 range depending on attack vector and impact scope). The absence of EPSS data and KEV inclusion status limits quantitative exploitation probability assessment, but CSRF vulnerabilities are generally considered readily exploitable by attackers with network access and moderate technical skill. The attack requires social engineering (tricking an authenticated user to visit a malicious site), which elevates practical barrier to exploitation compared to direct unauthenticated attacks. However, in enterprise environments where Indoor Connect 8855 manages critical indoor network infrastructure, a successful CSRF attack resulting in unauthorized modification could have significant operational impact. The fact that Ericsson issued an official security bulletin and patched the issue in 2025.Q3 indicates vendor acknowledgment of real-world risk rather than theoretical concern.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious website containing embedded requests (via hidden forms or JavaScript) targeting the Indoor Connect 8855 administrative interface. When a logged-in Indoor Connect 8855 administrator visits the attacker's site while maintaining an active session to the management console, the browser automatically includes the user's session cookie, allowing the attacker to trigger unauthorized configuration changes such as modifying network settings, creating unauthorized user accounts, or disabling security controls. The attack succeeds because Indoor Connect 8855 does not properly validate that state-changing requests originate from legitimate administrative sessions rather than external sources, making it particularly dangerous in environments where administrators maintain persistent sessions.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 25, 2026

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855 prior to version 2025.Q3 that allows attackers to perform unauthorized modification of certain information by tricking authenticated users into executing malicious requests. The vulnerability affects the Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855 product line and can be exploited to compromise the integrity of system data without explicit user awareness. No active exploitation in the wild (KEV status) or public proof-of-concept has been confirmed at this time, though the attack vector is typically network-based with low to medium complexity.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855 to version 2025.Q3 or later as the primary remediation. Organizations unable to immediately upgrade should implement compensating controls including enforcement of authenticated session timeouts to limit the window for CSRF exploitation, deployment of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configured to detect and block suspicious cross-origin state-changing requests, and implementation of SameSite cookie attributes at the reverse proxy level if Indoor Connect 8855 sits behind one. Additionally, restrict administrative access to Indoor Connect 8855 to trusted networks only using firewall rules, and educate users with administrative privileges to avoid clicking untrusted links while maintaining active sessions. Consult Ericsson's security bulletin at https://www.ericsson.com/en/about-us/security/psirt/CVE-2025-40841 for vendor-specific mitigation guidance and upgrade timelines.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery), a fundamental web application security flaw where the affected application (Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:ericsson:indoor_connect_8855:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) fails to implement proper anti-CSRF protections such as synchronizer tokens, same-site cookie attributes, or request origin validation. Indoor Connect 8855 is Ericsson's indoor connectivity and network management solution; the CSRF weakness means that state-changing operations (modifications to configuration, user data, or system settings) can be triggered through cross-origin requests without proper verification. This is particularly dangerous in enterprise network management contexts where Indoor Connect 8855 may be deployed as a centralized control point for indoor wireless infrastructure.

DescriptionCVE.org

Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855 versions prior to 2025.Q3 contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability which, if exploited, can lead to unauthorized modification of certain information.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855 versions prior to 2025.Q3 should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2025-40841, a cross-site request forgery vulnerability rated CVSS 5.1. Users could be tricked into performing unintended actions. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.

Business Impact: Low
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: implement SameSite cookie attributes and anti-CSRF tokens.
