Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-11371 is an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion flaw (CWE-552) present in the default installation and configuration of Gladinet CentreStack and TrioFox. This vulnerability enables unintended disclosure of system files. It affects all versions of these products prior to and including 16.7.10368.56560, with 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).

Remote attackers require no authentication or privileges to exploit this issue over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows attackers to read sensitive system files, resulting in high confidentiality impact but no disruption to integrity or availability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 directly enforces authorization checks on access to files and directories, stopping unauthorized external exposure.

AC-6 limits granted privileges, reducing the chance that files or directories become reachable by external parties.

AC-4 enforces information flow rules that can block unauthorized external access to files or directories.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

mitigates

By tracing and retrieving all copies of information stored on endpoint and portable devices, the control reduces the likelihood that files remain accessible outside the organization’s security perimeter.

mitigates

Labeling information according to its sensitivity and specifying corresponding protection measures makes it less probable that files or directories containing sensitive content will be left accessible to external parties.

mitigates

Including asset location and ownership in the inventory, combined with secure disposal procedures, decreases the chance that files or directories remain accessible to external parties after they should have been removed or restricted.

mitigates

Solid perimeters and locked external access points stop files, devices, or directories containing sensitive data from being reachable by external parties who could otherwise walk in or break in.

mitigates

Authorizing and logging the removal of storage media, disabling unused ports, and monitoring transfers limit the exposure of files or directories to external parties outside the organization’s controlled environment.

mitigates

Segregating delivery/loading zones and controlling external doors prevents external parties from reaching directories or resources that should remain inaccessible.

Oracle Linux 8 (2 rules)
  • V-248579 OL 8 must restrict access to the kernel message buffer. prevents CWE-552
