What is CVE-2025-27422?

The FACTION PenTesting Report Generation Framework has an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to create a new user with admin privileges without proper authorization. This can occur at any time as long as the request meets the basic validation requirements (such as a secure password and complete information). However, there are no additional controls preventing unauthorized users from gaining elevated privileges. This vulnerability was addressed in version 1.4.3.
