CVE-2025-62181 — Pega Platform versions 7.1.0 through Infinity 25.1.0 are affected by a User Enumeration where during user authentication process, a difference in response time could allow a remote unauthenticated user to determine if a username is valid or not.

Pega Platform versions 7.1.0 through Infinity 25.1.0 are affected by a User Enumeration. This issue occurs during user authentication process, where a difference in response time could allow a remote unauthenticated user to determine if a username is valid or not. This only applies to deprecated basic-authentication feature and other more secure authentication mechanisms are recommended. A fix is being provided in the 24.1.4, 24.2.4, and 25.1.1 patch releases. Please note: Basic credentials authentication service type is deprecated started in 24.2 version: https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/release-notes/security/whats-new-security-242.html.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+6
  • Technical severity (medium)+3
  • Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Pegasystems Pega Infinity).
  2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
  3. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2025-62181 is "Pega Platform versions 7.1.0 through Infinity 25.1.0 are affected by a User Enumeration where during user authentication process, a difference in response time could allow a remote unauthenticated user to determine if a username is valid or not.", rated Medium. It affects Pega Infinity (Pegasystems); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.3 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.44% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
