CVE-2025-53399
Medium 6.9
In plain English
A medium-severity security flaw in rtpengine from Sipwise. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 7.2% (higher than 94% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
In Sipwise rtpengine before 13.4.1.1, an origin-validation error in the endpoint-learning logic of the media-relay core allows remote attackers to inject or intercept RTP/SRTP media streams via RTP packets (except when the relay is configured for strict source and learning disabled). Version 13.4.1.1 fixes the heuristic mode by limiting exposure to the first five packets, and introduces a recrypt flag that fully prevents SRTP attacks when both mitigations are enabled.
