NeuVector TLS Cert Verification Bypass in Anonymous Telemetry (MITM/DoS)
CVE-2025-54470 Published on October 30, 2025
NeuVector telemetry sender is vulnerable to MITM and DoS
This vulnerability affects NeuVector deployments only when the Report anonymous cluster data option is enabled. When this option is enabled, NeuVector sends anonymous telemetry data to the telemetry server.
In affected versions, NeuVector does not enforce TLS
certificate verification when transmitting anonymous cluster data to the
telemetry server. As a result, the communication channel is susceptible
to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, where an attacker could intercept
or modify the transmitted data. Additionally, NeuVector loads the
response of the telemetry server is loaded into memory without size
limitation, which makes it vulnerable to a Denial of Service(DoS)
attack
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2025-54470 is exploitable with network access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a small impact on confidentiality and integrity, and a high impact on availability.
Weakness Type
Improper Certificate Validation
The software does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. When a certificate is invalid or malicious, it might allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering in the communication path between the host and client. The software might connect to a malicious host while believing it is a trusted host, or the software might be deceived into accepting spoofed data that appears to originate from a trusted host.
