Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Bome Restorator version 1793 has a local denial-of-service issue. A malformed or overly long value in the application’s Name field can trigger a buffer overflow and crash the application.
Executive priority
Track and remediate during normal vulnerability management unless Restorator 1793 is deployed on sensitive shared workstations or systems where application availability is operationally important.
Technical view
CVE-2018-25292 is a CWE-120 buffer overflow in Bome Restorator 1793. The CVSS v4.0 score is 6.9 with local attack vector and high impact to vulnerable-system availability only; confidentiality and integrity impacts are not reported in the source bundle.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to endpoints where Bome Restorator 1793 is installed and accessible to local users. No network-facing service exposure is described in the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle includes a public ExploitDB reference tagged as an exploit, so public proof-of-concept information exists. The vulnerability is not listed as KEV in the bundle, and the supplied sources do not support a claim of active exploitation.
Researcher notes
Do not infer remote code execution, privilege escalation, or active exploitation from the supplied bundle. Patch evidence is not present, so remediation should be based on vendor confirmation rather than an assumed fixed release.
Mitigation direction
- Identify systems running Bome Restorator 1793.
- Check Bome’s official guidance or newer release information for a fixed version before assuming a patch exists.
- Restrict use of the affected application to trusted users and avoid handling untrusted Restorator inputs where practical.
- Remove or disable the affected version where it is not operationally required.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Bome Restorator 1793 is installed on managed endpoints.
- Review crash reports or endpoint telemetry for unexpected Restorator application crashes.
- Verify whether vendor guidance or an updated build is available from Bome.
- Confirm compensating controls limit local access to the affected application.
