Summary

CVE-2025-0592 is a high-severity Improper Enforcement of Message Integrity During Transmission in a Communication Channel (CWE-924) vulnerability in Sick (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557); ranked at the 27th 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 SC-8 (Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity) and SC-16 (Transmission of Security and Privacy Attributes) — 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-2025-0592 is a vulnerability affecting SICK devices, where an attacker can manipulate a firmware file and upload it to the device, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary shell commands. Published on 2025-02-14, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-924.

A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary shell command execution on the device, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

SICK has issued advisories via its PSIRT page, a special cybersecurity information document, and a CSAF provider in JSON format detailing the issue. Additional resources include CISA's ICS recommended practices and the FIRST CVSS calculator for score verification. Practitioners should consult these for mitigation guidance and patching instructions.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-8 Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity good match

Requires protection of integrity for transmitted information, directly stopping the failure to verify messages were unmodified in transit.

SC-16 Transmission of Security and Privacy Attributes partial match

Associates integrity-related security attributes with exchanged information, helping ensure modification can be detected during transmission.

SC-23 Session Authenticity partial match

Protects session authenticity, which structurally reduces the ability to undetectably modify messages in the channel.

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.DS-02 full match
prevents

Directly requires integrity protection (e.g., signatures/hashes) for data-in-transit, which prevents the described weakness while also addressing confidentiality/availability.

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

A.8.20 Networks security mostly match
prevents

Mandates network security controls that can enforce message integrity on channels.

A.8.21 Security of network services mostly match
prevents

Addresses security of network services, which may include integrity mechanisms.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography mostly match
prevents

Cryptography is the primary technical means to enforce message integrity during transmission.

A.5.14 Information transfer partial match
prevents

Requires secure information transfer procedures that can include integrity checks.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify integrity protection for transmitted messages.
