What is CVE-2025-70887?

CVE-2025-70887 is a high-severity improper privilege management vulnerability in signify (pip), affecting versions < 0.9.2. It is fixed in 0.9.2. The application assigns, modifies, tracks, or checks privileges incorrectly, allowing a user to gain elevated access.

Which versions of signify are affected by CVE-2025-70887?

signify (pip) versions < 0.9.2 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2025-70887?

Yes. CVE-2025-70887 is fixed in 0.9.2. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2025-70887 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2025-70887 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2025-70887 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Signify allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the signed_data.py and the context.py components

An issue in ralphje Signify before v.0.9.2 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the signed_data.py and the context.py components

Impact

The application assigns, modifies, tracks, or checks privileges incorrectly, allowing a user to gain elevated access. Typical impact: privilege escalation beyond the intended level.

Affected versions

signify (< 0.9.2)

Security releases

signify → 0.9.2 (pip)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
