CVE-2025-30042 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.8) affecting clininet. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

The CGM CLININET system provides smart card authentication; however, authentication is conducted locally on the client device, and, in reality, only the certificate number is used for access verification. As a result, possession of the certificate number alone is sufficient for authentication, regardless of the actual presence of the smart card or ownership of the private key.

Why this priority

  • High severity

A fixed release or distro patch exists.
