Summary

CVE-2025-1077 is a critical-severity Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) vulnerability in Iblsoft (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.5 (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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) 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.

A security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-1077 affects the Product Delivery Service (PDS) component in IBL Software Engineering Visual Weather and its derived products including NAMIS, Aero Weather, and Satellite Weather. The flaw exists only in specific server configurations where the PDS pipeline uses the IPDS pipeline with Message Editor Output Filters enabled. It stems from insufficient input validation and unsafe deserialization (CWE-20, CWE-502), allowing specially crafted Form Properties to trigger arbitrary Python code execution when the IPDS pipeline is invoked.

A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue by sending crafted requests directly to the affected PDS endpoint. Successful exploitation grants arbitrary Python code execution on the server, which can result in full system compromise, particularly when Visual Weather services run under a privileged account rather than following documented least-privilege installation guidance. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.5 reflecting network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and scope change.

The vendor advisory at https://www.iblsoft.com/security/advisory-isec-2024-001/ recommends upgrading to version 7.3.10 or 8.6.0 and later to address the issue. Current EPSS remains low at 0.0112 with a modest peak of 0.0180, indicating limited observed exploitation interest to date.

utilizes the IPDS pipeline with Message Editor Output Filters enabled. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to send unauthenticated requests to execute the IPDS pipeline with specially crafted Form Properties, enabling remote execution of arbitrary Python code. This vulnerability could lead to a full system compromise of the affected server, particularly if Visual Weather services are run under a privileged user account—contrary to the documented installation best practices. Upgrade to the patched versions 7.3.10 (or higher), 8.6.0 (or higher).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing input validation through analysis or test cases.

SI-10 directly requires validity checks on information inputs, structurally preventing improper or missing validation.

Requiring documented development standards and tools can embed input-validation practices into the engineering process.

Engineering principles such as safe deserialization and input sanitization structurally prevent the weakness from being introduced.

Integrity verification tools can detect malformed or tampered serialized data after the fact.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require and enforce input validation during development.

PR.PS-02 none match
prevents

PR.PS-02 addresses only post-deployment updates/patching and cannot prevent introduction of unsafe deserialization code, yet it can remediate some instances when the flaw exists in outdated libraries or components.

finds

Testing against a defined set of requirements and using code review plus vulnerability scanning forces validation of inputs and handling of unanticipated conditions, reducing the chance that malformed data will be accepted.

prevents

Secure-coding guidelines and mandatory security testing (including code scans) compel developers to validate and sanitize inputs at design and implementation time, lowering the incidence of malformed or malicious data reaching downstream components.

prevents

Mandating input controls that include integrity checks and input validation ensures that untrusted data is examined before use, blocking the root cause of many injection and malformed-data weaknesses.

prevents

Security-by-design principles explicitly call for data validation and sanitization at every layer, reducing the chance that malformed or malicious input will be processed without scrutiny.

prevents

Requiring language-specific secure coding standards, peer review, SAST and documented mitigation of common programming errors forces validation of all inputs before they are trusted.

finds

Regular scanning of third-party libraries and timely patching reduce the likelihood that unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities remain active.
