CVE-2022-25247Network attack vector

Unauthenticated remote code execution via ERemoteServer commands

Published Mar 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Missing authentication in PTC Axeda agent and Axeda Desktop Server for Windows allows remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain full filesystem access and execute code via a network port. ERemoteServer.exe accepts certain commands on its listening port without authenticating the requester, exposing file operations and command execution. Exploitation requires network reachability to that port but no credentials or user interaction, and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host.
