Summary
CVE-2025-1060 is a high-severity Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information (CWE-319) vulnerability in Schneider Electric (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 15th 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) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-1060 is a CWE-319 Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information vulnerability that could result in the exposure of data when network traffic is sniffed by an attacker. It affects certain Schneider Electric products, as outlined in their security notice SEVD-2025-042-01. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and no requirements for privileges or user interaction.
An attacker with the ability to monitor or sniff network traffic—such as through man-in-the-middle interception on shared networks or compromised infrastructure—can exploit this issue. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to capture sensitive information transmitted in cleartext, achieving high-impact confidentiality violations without affecting integrity or availability.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-8 directly requires protecting confidentiality of transmitted information, which structurally eliminates cleartext transmission of sensitive data.

Encryption of data-in-transit directly prevents cleartext transmission while the control also addresses integrity and availability.

A.8.21 mandates identifying/implementing network service security features (explicitly including encryption and connection controls), formulating rules that cover authentication/authorization/monitoring/VPNs, and ensuring providers do the same; this stops cleartext transmission from being exploitable in the large majority of network channels, with a bounded remainder (e.g. internal non-networked flows or unaddressed legacy protocols).
Mandating cryptographic protection and stronger authentication on public networks stops the transmission of plaintext sensitive information.
A.5.17 mandates secure transmission of authentication information, removing cleartext transmission of that specific sensitive data, but does not address other sensitive information transmitted in cleartext, so it removes only a subset of CWE-319 instances.
A.8.5 requires that passwords not be transmitted in cleartext, so applying it removes that specific instance of cleartext transmission, but it does not address other sensitive information sent in cleartext.
