CVE-2025-12418 describes a potential Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability affecting Revenera InstallShield versions 2025 R1, 2024 R2, 2023 R2, and prior. The issue arises when a local administrator uninstalls the software, and a symlink within a user-writable configuration directory is followed, leading to a DoS. Rated with a CVSS v4.0 score of 5.6 (Medium), this vulnerability requires local access and user interaction for exploitation, with a high impact on availability. The attack complexity is low, but the attacker must be an authenticated user. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there public exploit modules available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are also minimal.
