CVE-2022-25626Network attack vector

Unauthenticated console-page access via forced browsing

Published Dec 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 18, 2025

Authentication bypass in Broadcom Symantec Identity Manager 14.3 and 14.4 allows remote attackers to access management-console pages. The console serves specific page URLs without first requiring a valid web session; Broadcom has not disclosed the affected routes or underlying authorization check. No credentials or user interaction are required, but access is limited to page content because server-side tasks still require a valid session.
