CVE-2026-25827: An issue was discovered in Keyfactor SignServer before 7.6.0.

An issue was discovered in Keyfactor SignServer before 7.6.0.

An issue was discovered in Keyfactor SignServer before 7.6.0. A number of properties were identified to not have any restrictions to what path they can be set to by an admin user. Setting these properties to specific file paths can reveal information to the client side. Three specific properties were identified: The property ATTRIBUTESFILE in PKCS11CryotoToken can be set to a readable but not an accepted (i.e., recognized with attributes) file. In this case an error is thrown, confirming the existence of the file. The property KEYSTOREPATH in KeyStoreCryptoToken can be set to a non-existing file that will return an error confirming to the client side that the file does not exist. The property TRUSTSTOREPATH in RenewalWorker can be set to any path (without any restrictions) by an admin user. In the case that the provided path points to an existing file, readable by the user running the application server, but is not a recognized PEM format, it returns this as an error to the client side, confirming the existences of the file.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses this software, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.16%, higher than 4% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 28, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
