CVE-2025-54866
From version 4.3.0 to before 4.13.0, a missing ACL on "C:\Program Files (x86)\ossec-agent\authd.pass" exposes the password to all "Authenticated Users" on the local machine.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
