Summary

CVE-2025-11182 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Supply Chain Compromise (T1195); ranked at the 34th 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and CM-14 (Signed Components) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Requires digital signature verification before component installation, directly stopping execution of code downloaded without integrity checks.

Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.

Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.

Employs integrity verification tools that can identify missing or failed checks on downloaded software after the fact.

Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

ID.RA-09 full match
prevents

Directly requires assessing authenticity/integrity of software before acquisition and use, preventing unverified downloads.

PR.DS-02 mostly match
prevents

Requires cryptographic integrity protections (signatures/hashes) for data-in-transit, covering downloaded code.

PR.PS-05 mostly match
prevents

Prevents execution of unauthorized software, blocking the outcome of an unchecked download.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

finds

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Mandating integrity checks, digital signatures, and origin tracing for ICT components directly reduces the chance that code or firmware lacking an integrity check will be accepted into the organisation’s environment.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
