CVE-2025-3935

8.1 · HIGH Actively Exploited
Published Apr 25, 2025 connectwise CWE-502 EPSS 3.39% (88th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-3935 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting connectwise screenconnect. It was published on April 25, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH). This vulnerability is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, indicating active exploitation in the wild.

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

ScreenConnect versions 25.2.3 and earlier versions may be susceptible to a ViewState code injection attack. ASP.NET Web Forms use ViewState to preserve page and control state, with data encoded using Base64 protected by machine keys. 

It is important to note that to obtain these machine keys, privileged system level access must be obtained.

If these machine keys are compromised, attackers could create and send a malicious ViewState to the website, potentially leading to remote code execution on the server. 

The risk does not originate from a vulnerability introduced by ScreenConnect, but from platform level behavior.  This had no direct impact to ScreenConnect Client. ScreenConnect 2025.4 patch disables ViewState and removes any dependency on it.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from connectwise. Update screenconnect to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
