OpenEdge 12.2.x/12.8.x AdminServer RMI Elevation (setFile/openFile) OS-level
CVE-2025-7389 Published on April 14, 2026
Unauthorized Arbitrary File Read via RMI in AdminServer Interface
A vulnerability in the AdminServer component of OpenEdge on all supported platforms grants its authenticated users OS-level access to the server
through the adopted authority of the AdminServer process itself. The delegated authority of the AdminServer could allow its users the ability to read arbitrary files on the host system through the misuse of the setFile() and openFile()
methods exposed through the RMI interface. Misuse was limited only by OS-level authority of the AdminServer's elevated
privileges granted and the user's access to these methods enabled through RMI. The exploitable methods have been removed thus eliminating their access through RMI or downstream of the RMI registry.
Weakness Type
Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties
The product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be. Web servers, FTP servers, and similar servers may store a set of files underneath a "root" directory that is accessible to the server's users. Applications may store sensitive files underneath this root without also using access control to limit which users may request those files, if any. Alternately, an application might package multiple files or directories into an archive file (e.g., ZIP or tar), but the application might not exclude sensitive files that are underneath those directories.
