How severe is CVE-2025-54380?

CVE-2025-54380 has a CVSS score of 6.5/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-54380?

CVE-2025-54380 affects the following packages: org.opencastproject:opencast-common (Maven), org.opencastproject:opencast-ingest-service-impl (Maven), org.opencastproject:opencast-kernel (Maven), org.opencastproject:opencast-publication-service-oaipmh-remote (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2025-54380?

Update org.opencastproject:opencast-common to 17.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-54380 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-54380 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.opencastproject:opencast-common, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-54380 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.

Is CVE-2025-54380 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-54380 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-2025-54380?

CVE-2025-54380 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 37th 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-2025-54380?

CVE-2025-54380 is classified as Information Exposure (CWE-200), CWE-522 (CWE-522). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Opencast prior to versions 17.6 would incorrectly send the hashed global system account credentials (ie: org.opencastproject.security.digest.user and org.opencastproject.security.digest.pass) when attempting to fetch mediapackage elements included in a mediapackage XML file. A previous CVE prevented many cases where the credentials were inappropriately sent, but not all. The remainder are addressed with this patch.

Impact

Anyone with ingest permissions could cause Opencast to send its hashed global system account credentials to a url of their choosing.
