CVE-2025-34519: Ilevia EVE X1 Server 4.7.18.0.eden Insecure Hashing Algorithm
Ilevia EVE X1 Server firmware versions ≤ 4.7.18.0.eden contain an insecure hashing algorithm vulnerability. The product stores passwords using the MD5 hash function without applying a per‑password salt. Because MD5 is a fast, unsalted hash, an attacker who obtains the password database can efficiently perform offline dictionary, rainbow‑table, or brute‑force attacks to recover the original passwords. Ilevia has declined to service this vulnerability, and recommends that customers not expose port 8080 to the internet.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Ilevia EVE X1 Server stores passwords with unsalted MD5 in firmware versions up to 4.7.18.0.eden. If an attacker gets the password database, they can try guesses offline at high speed. The cited sources say Ilevia declined service and recommends not exposing port 8080 to the internet.
Executive priority
Treat this as high priority for exposed building or automation environments. There is no source-confirmed patch in the bundle, and the vendor reportedly declined service, so urgency centers on reducing exposure and limiting credential reuse damage.
Technical view
This is CWE-327: use of a broken cryptographic algorithm for password storage. Passwords are stored as MD5 hashes without per-password salts, enabling efficient offline dictionary, brute-force, or rainbow-table attacks after database access. CVSS 4.0 is 8.2 high, with high confidentiality impact and prerequisite database exposure.
Likely exposure
Organizations using Ilevia EVE X1 Server firmware versions ≤ 4.7.18.0.eden are the stated affected population. Risk is highest where the system is internet-accessible, especially on port 8080, or where attackers may obtain local backups or the password database.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. ZeroScience is tagged as a technical/exploit reference, so public technical detail may exist. The core attack requires obtaining the password database before offline password recovery is possible.
Researcher notes
The sources support a password-storage weakness, not direct remote account takeover by itself. Document whether database access is possible through other weaknesses, backups, or exposed management paths. Avoid overstating exploitation without KEV or incident evidence.
Mitigation direction
Do not expose port 8080 to the internet.
Restrict EVE X1 access to trusted internal or VPN networks.
Check Ilevia guidance for any future remediation or replacement path.
Rotate affected credentials if database exposure is suspected.
Review reused passwords on other systems and replace them.
Validation and detection
Inventory EVE X1 Server firmware versions in your environment.
Confirm whether any EVE X1 service is internet-accessible on port 8080.
Review firewall, NAT, and remote-access rules for unintended exposure.
Check logs and backups for signs the password database was accessed.
Verify credential rotation if compromise is suspected.

Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references authentication or credential exposure, so valid-account and credential-access review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
The CVE wording references database injection or access, so collection and exfiltration review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
