CVE-2020-25560 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In SapphireIMS 5.0, it is possible to use the hardcoded credential in clients (username: sapphire, password: ims) and gain access to the portal. Once the access is available, the attacker can inject malicious OS commands on “ping”, “traceroute” and “snmp” functions and execute code on the server. EPSS estimates a 2.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
