CVE-2025-62819: Keyfactor EJBCA insufficient authorization in certificate self-renewal

CVE-2025-62819 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-02

Keyfactor EJBCA is a public key infrastructure (PKI) system that manages digital certificates for securing communications and authentication. A flaw in the RA (Registration Authority) web interface allows an authenticated user to renew their own client certificate even when their account status or certificate policies should prohibit this. An attacker with a valid client certificate and RA access could maintain persistent authentication beyond their intended certificate lifetime.

Vendors: Keyfactor.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in EJBCA's certificate self-renewal functionality within the RA web interface. An authenticated user with a valid TLS client certificate and RA access can bypass end-entity status checks and certificate profile renewal restrictions to renew their certificate when they should not be permitted to do so. The attacker must already be authenticated and authorized to access the RA interface, either directly with a certificate or via PublicAccessAuthenticationToken role membership.
