Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-27112?

CVE-2025-27112 affects the following packages: github.com/navidrome/navidrome (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix CVE-2025-27112?

Update github.com/navidrome/navidrome to 0.54.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-27112 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-27112 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/navidrome/navidrome, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-27112 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2025-27112?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-27112 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2025-27112 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-27112 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2025-27112?

CVE-2025-27112 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.0%, placing it in the 61th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2025-27112?

CVE-2025-27112 is classified as Improper Authentication (CWE-287). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2025-27112?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2025-27112, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2025-27112 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-27112 was published on February 24, 2025 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

In certain Subsonic API endpoints, authentication can be bypassed by using a non-existent username combined with an empty (salted) password hash. This allows read-only access to the server’s resources, though attempts at write operations fail with a “permission denied” error.

Details

A flaw in the authentication check process allows an attacker to specify any arbitrary username that does not exist on the system, along with a salted hash of an empty password. Under these conditions, Navidrome treats the request as authenticated, granting access to various Subsonic endpoints without requiring valid credentials.

Proof of Concept (PoC)

Generate a random salt:

// e.g., salt = "x1vbudn1m6d"
Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15)

Calculate the MD5 hash of an empty password plus the salt:

# Using the example salt above
echo -n "x1vbudn1m6d" | md5sum
81f0c0fb5d202ab0d012e6eaeb722d79  -

Send a request specifying a fake user, with the hash and salt values:

GET https://[host]/rest/getPlaylists?u=FakeUser&t=81f0c0fb5d202ab0d012e6eaeb722d79&s=x1vbudn1m6d&v=1.16.1&c=castafiore&f=json

Impact

An attacker can use any non-existent username to bypass the authentication system and gain access to various read-only data in Navidrome, such as user playlists. However, any attempt to modify data fails due to insufficient permissions, limiting the impact to unauthorized viewing of information.

How to detect CVE-2025-27112

A community-maintained Nuclei template exists for this CVE. You can scan for it directly:

nuclei -id cve-2025-27112 -u https://target

Template: Navidrome <=0.54.5 - Authentication Bypass in Subsonic API
Severity: medium
Impact: Attackers can bypass authentication using non-existent usernames and empty password hashes to gain read-only access to user playlists and other data through Subsonic API endpoints.
Remediation: Upgrade to Navidrome version 0.54.5 or later that properly validates authentication credentials.
