Description

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

Security Summary

CVE-2025-25373 is a critical vulnerability in the Memory Management Module of NASA's Core Flight System (cFS) Aquila, stemming from insecure permissions (CWE-732). Published on 2025-03-25, it has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for remote code execution (RCE) on the affected platform.

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers with network access, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution on the cFS Aquila platform, resulting in high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
