One Identity Secure Password Extension Privilege Escalation (CVE-2025-27582)
Cyberis has discovered a local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability - CVE-2025-27582 - in One Identity Secure Password Extension x64 v5.14.3.1, a component of One Identity Password Manager. By abusing the Password Self-Service feature available on the Windows lock screen, an attacker can bypass security restrictions, launch a SYSTEM-privileged print dialog, and ultimately gain a SYSTEM shell.
This vulnerability requires only local access and is trivially exploitable in environments where this software is deployed. An attacker can escalate to SYSTEM directly from the logon screen—without requiring valid credentials.
