CVE-2025-3935 affects ConnectWise ScreenConnect versions 25.2.3 and earlier. The issue involves ASP.NET Web Forms ViewState handling: if the ASP.NET machine keys used to protect ViewState are compromised, an attacker can craft a malicious ViewState payload and submit it to the ScreenConnect web application, resulting in server-side code execution. The vendor states the root cause is platform-level ASP.NET ViewState behavior rather than ScreenConnect-specific cryptographic logic, but ScreenConnect was exposed to the risk through its dependency on ViewState. ConnectWise indicates that ScreenConnect 2025.4 disables ViewState and removes the product’s dependency on it.
