Summary

CVE-2025-0728 is a medium-severity Wrap or Wraparound (CWE-191) vulnerability in Eclipse Threadx Netx Duo. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked in the top 49% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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 SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — 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-2025-0728 is an integer underflow vulnerability (CWE-191) in the HTTP server functionality of Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo versions before 6.4.2. The flaw occurs when processing specially crafted packets for writing a very large file, where the Content-Length header specifies a value smaller than the actual data size sent, triggering the underflow.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no user interaction required, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Successful exploitation causes a denial of service, potentially crashing the affected HTTP server or rendering it unavailable.

The Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo security advisory (GHSA-hqp7-4q26-6wqf) and associated GitHub commit (c78d650be7377aae1a8704bc0ce5cc6f9f189014) detail the patch in version 6.4.2. A recommended workaround is to disable HTTP PUT support to prevent exploitation.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and static/dynamic analysis directly find integer underflow defects before code is released.

Security engineering principles require use of safe arithmetic constructs or language features that structurally eliminate integer underflow during subtraction.

Input validation can reject or sanitize values that would cause a subtraction to underflow the representable range.
