CVE-2025-30406
Description
Gladinet CentreStack through 16.1.10296.56315 (fixed in 16.4.10315.56368) has a deserialization vulnerability due to the CentreStack portal's hardcoded machineKey use, as exploited in the wild in March 2025. This enables threat actors (who know the machineKey) to serialize a payload for server-side deserialization to achieve remote code execution. NOTE: a CentreStack admin can manually delete the machineKey defined in portal\web.config.
Summary dbcve.org
Gladinet CentreStack contains a deserialization vulnerability stemming from a hardcoded machineKey in the portal's web.config file. Attackers who obtain this machineKey can craft malicious serialized payloads that, when deserialized by the server, enable remote code execution. This vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild in March 2025.
Mitigation
Upgrade CentreStack to version 16.4.10315.56368 or later, or immediately remove the hardcoded machineKey entry from portal\web.config as a temporary workaround.
