CVE-2025-11367 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the N-central Software Probe versions prior to 2025.4, stemming from unsafe deserialization (CWE-502). Published on 2025-11-12, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its potential for complete system compromise.
An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the vulnerable probe can exploit this flaw with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution on the target system, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly remediates the unsafe deserialization vulnerability by requiring timely patching of the N-central Software Probe to version 2025.4 or later.
Mandates validation of all inputs to the probe, preventing exploitation of unsafe deserialization by rejecting malformed serialized data.
Enforces network boundary protections to limit unauthenticated remote access to the vulnerable probe, reducing the attack surface for exploitation.

Security testing includes validation of deserialization routines and the use of untrusted data, reducing the likelihood that unsafe object reconstruction will be deployed.
Requiring vetted libraries, regular updates and SAST before release reduces the likelihood that deserialization logic will accept and act on attacker-controlled serialized objects.
Regular scanning of third-party libraries and timely patching reduce the likelihood that unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities remain active.
Mandatory malware scanning of data received over networks or storage media intercepts malicious serialized payloads before they are deserialized by the target application.
