Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-15316 is a medium-severity Argument Injection (CWE-88) vulnerability in Tanium Module Server. Its CVSS base score is 6.7 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 3th 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-15316 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Tanium Server. Tanium addressed the issue, which is classified under CWE-88 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.7 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability was published on 2026-02-09.
An attacker with local access and existing high privileges (PR:H) on the affected system can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables high-impact consequences, including unauthorized access to confidential data (C:H), modification of system integrity (I:H), and disruption of availability (A:H), effectively allowing full privilege escalation from the attacker's privileged position.
Tanium's security advisory TAN-2025-011 at https://security.tanium.com/TAN-2025-011 provides details on mitigation and patching instructions for the vulnerability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing can discover argument-injection flaws in command-construction code but does not stop their introduction.
Input validation directly stops construction of command strings containing unneutralized delimiters or injected arguments.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require proper input validation and command construction to prevent argument injection.

Security testing can detect argument injection but does not prevent it at the source.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent argument injection.
Application security requirements include explicit rules for safe command-line argument handling and escaping.
Secure architecture principles discourage unsafe command invocation patterns and favor safer APIs.
Secure coding standards explicitly require proper neutralization of command arguments, directly eliminating CWE-88.
Change management can catch unsafe command patterns during reviews but is not a direct mitigation.
