CVE-2025-49084 is a vulnerability in the management console of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.56. Attackers with administrative access can overwrite policy rules without the requisite permissions. The attack complexity is low, attack requirements are present, privileges required are high and no user interaction is required. There is no impact to confidentiality, the impact to integrity is low, and there is no impact to availability. The impact to confidentiality and availability of subsequent systems is high and the impact to the integrity of subsequent systems is low.
An issue was discovered in Absolute Software CTES Windows Agent through 1.0.0.1479. The security permissions on the %ProgramData%\CTES folder and sub-folders may allow write access to low-privileged user accounts. This allows unauthorized replacement of service program executable (EXE) or dynamically loadable library (DLL) files, causing elevated (SYSTEM) user access. Configuration control files or data files under this folder could also be similarly modified to affect service process behavior.
There is a memory management vulnerability in Absolute Secure Access server versions 9.0 to 13.54. Attackers with network access to the server can cause a Denial of Service by sending a specially crafted sequence of packets to the server. The attack complexity is low, there are no attack requirements, privileges, or user interaction required. Loss of availability is high; there is no impact on confidentiality or integrity.

CVE-2025-49083 is a vulnerability in the management console of Absolute Secure Access after version 12.00 and prior to version 13.56. Attackers with administrative access to the console can cause unsafe content to be deserialized and executed in the security context of the console. The attack complexity is low and there are no attack requirements. Privileges required are high and there is no user interaction required.

The stub component of Absolute Computrace Agent V70.785 executes code from a disk's inter-partition space without requiring a digital signature for that code, which allows attackers to execute code on the BIOS. This allows a privileged local user to achieve persistent control of BIOS behavior, independent of later disk changes.
Absolute Computrace Agent V80.845 and V80.866 does not have a digital signature for the configuration block, which allows attackers to set up communication with a web site other than the intended search.namequery.com site by modifying data within a disk's inter-partition space. This allows a privileged local user to execute arbitrary code even after that user loses access and all disk partitions are reformatted.
CVE-2026-40950 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Secure Access server prior to 14.50. Attackers with control of a modified client can send a specially crafted message to the server and cause a denial of service
CVE-2026-33443 is a memory management error in Secure Access servers prior to 14.55. Attackers with an intimate knowledge of and total control over the tunnel protocol can create a persistent DoS against the server.
CVE-2025-27703 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the management console of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.54. Attackers with administrative access to a specific subset of privileged features in the console can elevate their permissions to access additional features in the console. The attack complexity is low, there are no preexisting attack requirements; the privileges required are high, and there is no user interaction required. The impact to system confidentiality is low, the impact to system integrity is high and the impact to system availability is low.
A vulnerability in Absolute Persistence® versions before 2.8 exists when it is not activated. This may allow a skilled attacker with both physical access to the device, and full hostile network control, to initiate OS commands on the device. To remediate this vulnerability, update the device firmware to the latest available version. Please contact the device manufacturer for upgrade instructions or contact Absolute Security, see reference below.
CVE-2025-27702 is a vulnerability in the management console of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.54. Attackers with administrative access to the console and who have been assigned a certain set of permissions can bypass those permissions to improperly modify settings. The attack complexity is low, there are no preexisting attack requirements; the privileges required are high, and there is no user interaction required. There is no impact to system confidentiality or availability, impact to system integrity is high.
