Summary

CVE-2025-0412 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Luxion Keyshot. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Process Injection (T1055); ranked at the 30th 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-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-0412 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Luxion KeyShot Viewer that occurs during parsing of KSP files. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied data and can be triggered when the application processes a malicious file, resulting in remote code execution in the context of the current process. It carries a CVSS 7.8 score and is tracked under CWE-119; the issue was originally reported as ZDI-CAN-22139.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by convincing a target to open a crafted KSP file or visit a malicious page hosting such a file. Successful exploitation grants arbitrary code execution without additional privileges beyond the user's context, though user interaction is required.

Public advisories from Luxion and the Zero Day Initiative, available at the referenced URLs, address the issue and should be consulted for patch availability and recommended mitigation steps. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0233 with no material increase observed after disclosure.

must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the processing of KSP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22139.
