ConnectWise has released a security update for its Automate product to address two vulnerabilities. The most severe, CVE-2025-11492, allows for cleartext transmission of sensitive information, potentially exposing communications to adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks. The second, CVE-2025-11493, involves a lack of integrity verification for update packages. The vulnerabilities affect on-premises deployments of Automate, a remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform used by managed service providers (MSPs) and IT departments. The update is marked as a moderate priority, and administrators are advised to install it as soon as possible. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to intercept or modify traffic, including commands, credentials, and update payloads, potentially leading to the installation of malicious files.
