Routine

HIGH 8.1UPGRADE

CVE-2025-59945 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.1) affecting sysreptor. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. In versions from 2024.74 to before 2025.83, authenticated and unprivileged (non-admin) users can assign the is_project_admin permission to their own user. This allows users to read, modify and delete pentesting projects they are not members of and are therefore not supposed to access. This issue has been patched in version 2025.83.

syslifters sysreptor UPGRADE

Affected: >= 2024.74 and < 2025.83

Fixed in: 2025.83

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 2024.74

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 2025.83 (Debian / Ubuntu)

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

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

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 2024.74 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison sysreptor sudo apt install sysreptor=<VERSION_BEFORE_2024.74> sudo apt-mark hold sysreptor

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

dnf --showduplicates list sysreptor sudo dnf downgrade sysreptor-<VERSION_BEFORE_2024.74> sudo dnf versionlock add sysreptor

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.
