CVE-2025-54389

MEDIUM

6.2

CVSS v3

Description

AIDE is an advanced intrusion detection environment. Prior to version 0.19.2, there is an improper output neutralization vulnerability in AIDE. An attacker can craft a malicious filename by including terminal escape sequences to hide the addition or removal of the file from the report and/or tamper with the log output. A local user might exploit this to bypass the AIDE detection of malicious files. Additionally the output of extended attribute key names and symbolic links targets are also not properly neutralized. This issue has been patched in version 0.19.2. A workaround involves configuring AIDE to write the report output to a regular file, redirecting stdout to a regular file, or redirecting the log output written to stderr to a regular file.

Common questions

How do I fix CVE-2025-54389?

Published advisories record a fix for 10 affected products. The "How to fix" section on this page lists the fixed version and source advisory for each one, so apply the entry matching what you actually run.

Is CVE-2025-54389 being actively exploited?

Not that we know of. CVE-2025-54389 is not in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Its EPSS score of 0.22% is the estimated probability that it will be exploited in the next 30 days. That is higher than 13% of all scored CVEs.

How severe is CVE-2025-54389?

CVE-2025-54389 has a CVSS v3 base score of 6.2, rated medium. CVSS rates the technical impact if the vulnerability is exploited, not how likely that is, so weigh it alongside the exploit-prediction score when you decide what to patch first.

What does CVE-2025-54389 affect?

Published advisories record a fix for aide (Debian), aide (Red Hat / RHEL), aide (Rocky), aide-debuginfo (Red Hat / RHEL), and 6 more. Only products with a sourced advisory are listed, so treat this as what we can cite rather than a complete inventory.
