CVE-2025-20628

Insufficient granularity of access control for Remote Connector Servers in client mode

Published Apr 7, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
An insufficient granularity of access control vulnerability exists in PingIDM (formerly ForgeRock Identity Management) where administrators cannot properly configure access rules for Remote Connector Servers (RCS) running in client mode. This means attackers can spoof a client-mode RCS (if one exists) to intercept and/or modify an identity’s security-relevant properties, such as passwords and account recovery information. This issue is exploitable only when an RCS is configured to run in client mode.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Both of the following steps are required to mitigate the issue: * Upgrade to one of the fixed versions listed previously. * Secure the /openicf endpoint using the new access and authentication configuration options (refer to  migration dependent features  https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingoneaic/latest/product-information/migration-dependent-features.html#current_migration_dependent_features for more details).


Vendor Workaround

Configure a reverse proxy (such as PingGateway) to enforce IP and certificate-based rules to the /openicf endpoint.
