CVE-2025-0632 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Formulatrix Rock Maker (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.2 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 45% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-0632 is a local file inclusion vulnerability in the Render function of Formulatrix Rock Maker Web that stems from improper handling of file paths, enabling remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the host. The flaw affects Rock Maker Web versions 3.2.1.1 and later and is tracked under CWE-22 and CWE-98, carrying a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.2.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input to the Render function to execute malicious scripts that automatically retrieve configuration files from known locations, exfiltrating credentials and other sensitive data. Because the application lacks rate limiting, the same vector also permits systematic enumeration of the host filesystem, which can escalate to full system compromise.
The vendor has published a security bulletin and an updated installer (RockMakerWeb_3.18.4.7_setup.exe) on its download portal that address the issue; administrators should apply the patched build and review the accompanying bulletin for configuration guidance.
EPSS for the CVE reached a peak of 0.0269 after disclosure before settling at the current value of 0.0154, indicating a measurable increase in exploitation interest following public release.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing filename restrictions before deployment.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Information-flow rules can block the loading of external or unauthorized files into the PHP process.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
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.
Secure SDLC practices such as input validation and allow-listing of include paths directly prevent the weakness.
Hardened runtime configuration (e.g., allow_url_include=off) directly blocks RFI even if code is flawed.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
Execution restrictions can prevent the remote payload from running, while eliminating the weakness reduces the need for such controls.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
