Summary

CVE-2023-31025 is a medium-severity LDAP Injection (CWE-90) vulnerability in Nvidia Dgx A100 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked at the 40th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover LDAP injection flaws through static analysis or crafted test cases.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching an LDAP query builder without neutralization of special characters.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require safe query construction and escaping that structurally prevents LDAP injection.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization and query parameterization to prevent LDAP injection.

A.5.13 Labelling of information partial match
removes
A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.19 Installation of software on operational systems partial match
removes
A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

A.8.25 mandates secure SDLC practices including secure coding guidelines, security requirements, checkpoints, testing (scans/penetration), and developer training that reach LDAP injection as one injection-class defect, but leaves a bounded remainder (e.g. incomplete implementation of those practices, outsourced development without full assurance, or non-code injection vectors)

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
blocks

Application security requirements include explicit rules for safe construction of directory queries, mitigating LDAP injection.

Hardening callouts derived

DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.

  • No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-74, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
