CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-1683 is a high-severity Link Following (CWE-59) vulnerability in 1E Platform. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Path Interception (T1034); ranked at the 12th 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 AC-6 (Least Privilege) — 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.
CVE-2025-1683 involves improper link resolution before file access in the Nomad module of the 1E Client, affecting versions prior to 25.3 on Windows systems. Published on 2025-03-12, this vulnerability (CWE-59) enables exploitation of symbolic links and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts from local attacks.
An attacker with local unprivileged access on the affected Windows device can exploit the flaw to delete arbitrary files. The low attack complexity and lack of required user interaction make it feasible for any local user account to target sensitive data or system files via crafted symbolic links during Nomad module operations.
Vendor guidance in the TeamViewer security bulletin (1e-2025-2001) and the NVD entry detail mitigation, with the issue resolved in 1E Client version 25.3 and later. Security practitioners should consult https://www.teamviewer.com/en/resources/trust-center/security-bulletins/1e-2025-2001/ for patching instructions, alongside CWE-59 and related CAPEC-27 resources at their respective MITRE links and https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-1683.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Proper enforcement of access authorizations on the resolved target resource stops a link from reaching an unintended object.
Least-privilege limits the damage an attacker can cause after following an unintended link.
Validating file-name inputs can reject or canonicalize names that resolve to links before access occurs.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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 code to validate paths and avoid unsafe link following.

Security testing can detect link-following flaws before release.
Secure SDLC practices can mandate link-resolution checks and canonicalization before file access.
Application security requirements can explicitly require safe handling of symbolic links and path traversal.
Secure architecture principles include input validation and safe file-access design patterns.
Secure coding standards directly address canonicalization and symlink attacks during implementation.
Access-control rules can limit which files are reachable, reducing exposure to malicious links.
