Description

A vulnerability has been identified in Rexroth IndraWorks. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's system by parsing a manipulated file containing malicious serialized data. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a specially crafted file,…

which then causes the application to deserialize the malicious data, enabling Remote Code Execution (RCE). This can lead to a complete compromise of the system running Rexroth IndraWorks.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Directly remediates the deserialization flaw in Rexroth IndraWorks by applying vendor patches from the Bosch PSIRT advisory to prevent RCE.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Validates serialized data in manipulated input files prior to deserialization to block processing of malicious payloads.

SI-16 Memory Protection partial match

prevent

Hinders arbitrary code execution from deserialization exploits via memory safeguards like DEP and ASLR.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2025-60038 is a deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) affecting Rexroth IndraWorks engineering software. The flaw allows arbitrary code execution when the application processes a specially crafted file containing malicious serialized data. Upon parsing, the deserialization leads to remote code execution (RCE) on the system running Rexroth IndraWorks. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H), indicating high impact with low attack complexity but requiring local access and user interaction.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a manipulated file to a user, who must open it in Rexroth IndraWorks for deserialization to occur. No privileges are needed (PR:N), but the attack is local (AV:L) and relies on user interaction (UI:R), such as tricking the user into loading the file. Successful exploitation grants RCE, enabling complete compromise of the host system with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.

attack.mitre.org →

T1204.002 Malicious File Execution

An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

Deserialization vulnerability enables RCE via exploitation of client software (T1203) when user opens crafted malicious file (T1204.002).
