MEDIUM 4.8REMOTEWATCHLISTUPGRADE

CVE-2025-15612 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 4.8) affecting wazuh. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Wazuh provisioning scripts and Dockerfiles contain an insecure transport vulnerability where curl is invoked with the -k/--insecure flag, disabling SSL/TLS certificate validation. Attackers with network access can perform man-in-the-middle attacks to intercept and modify downloaded dependencies or code during the build process, leading to remote code execution and supply chain compromise.

wazuh wazuh UPGRADE

Affected: >= 4.1.3 and < 4.14.0

Fixed in: 4.14.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.1.3

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy wazuh || rpm -q wazuh || wazuh --version

2. UPGRADE to 4.14.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade wazuh

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade wazuh

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 4.1.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison wazuh sudo apt install wazuh=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.1.3> sudo apt-mark hold wazuh

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list wazuh sudo dnf downgrade wazuh-<VERSION_BEFORE_4.1.3> sudo dnf versionlock add wazuh

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
