CVE-2025-53118 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Securden Unified PAM affecting versions 9.0.x through 11.3.1. Rapid7 reported that an unauthenticated user can browse to /thirdparty-access, receive a valid securdensession cookie after redirection, then use that cookie to request /get_csrf_token and obtain both a CSRF token and a securdenpost cookie. Certain API endpoints reportedly validate only the presence of these cookies and the CSRF token, rather than verifying that the requester is actually authenticated and authorized. Rapid7 identified backup-related functionality, including /configure_schedule, as a high-impact attack surface reachable through this flaw. By abusing these administrator backup functions, an unauthenticated attacker can trigger creation and delivery of encrypted password backups or database backups, exposing sensitive material stored by the Unified PAM platform, including passwords, secrets, and active application session tokens.
