Control-M 9.0.18-20 Blowfish Hardcoded Key Decrypts Traffic
CVE-2025-55112 Published on September 16, 2025
BMC Control-M/Agent hardcoded Blowfish keys
Out-of-support Control-M/Agent versions 9.0.18 to 9.0.20 (and potentially earlier unsupported versions) that are configured to use the non-default Blowfish cryptography algorithm use a hardcoded key. An attacker with access to network traffic and to this key could decrypt network traffic between the Control-M/Agent and Server.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2025-55112 is exploitable with network access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is consided to have a high level of attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a high impact on confidentiality and integrity, and no impact on availability.
Weakness Types
Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
The use of a hard-coded cryptographic key significantly increases the possibility that encrypted data may be recovered.
Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
The use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm is an unnecessary risk that may result in the exposure of sensitive information. The use of a non-standard algorithm is dangerous because a determined attacker may be able to break the algorithm and compromise whatever data has been protected. Well-known techniques may exist to break the algorithm.
