Why it matters
CVE-2026-92625 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Control iD iDSecure, allowing unauthenticated Denial of Service attacks. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and assessing potential impact, focusing on systems using iDSecure versions prior to 4.8.3.0.
- Potential Denial of Service attacks
- Service unavailability due to continuous restart cycle
- Need for verification of iDSecure version and exposure
- Potential impact on system availability and reliability
Technical summary
The /api/license/restartService endpoint in Control iD iDSecure versions prior to 4.8.3.0 is vulnerable to unauthenticated Denial of Service attacks, allowing attackers to terminate and restart the iDSecure service process. This can be done by repeatedly calling the endpoint, causing a continuous restart cycle that renders the service unavailable. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 and is classified as HIGH severity. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and assessing potential impact, focusing on systems using iDSecure versions prior to 4.8.3.0.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and assessing potential impact, focusing on systems using iDSecure versions prior to 4.8.3.0.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify iDSecure version and assess exposure
- Implement authentication for the /api/license/restartService endpoint
- Monitor for potential Denial of Service attacks
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
