Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-23385 is a high-severity Process Control (CWE-114) vulnerability in Jetbrains Dottrace. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Shared Modules (T1129); 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 CM-7 (Least Functionality) and SC-18 (Mobile Code) — 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-2025-23385 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability via the ETW Host Service, affecting JetBrains ReSharper versions prior to 2024.3.4, 2024.2.8, and 2024.1.7; Rider prior to 2024.3.4, 2024.2.8, and 2024.1.7; dotTrace prior to 2024.3.4, 2024.2.8, and 2024.1.7; and ETW Host Service prior to version 16.43. The issue is associated with CWE-114 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability, requiring high attack complexity but no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to escalate privileges, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability within a changed scope.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Least functionality directly restricts execution of commands or loading of libraries to only approved capabilities, stopping untrusted sources from being used.
Mobile code control explicitly defines and enforces acceptable sources and technologies for code/commands loaded at runtime.
Malicious code protection mechanisms block execution or loading of code from untrusted sources before it can run.
Policies and enforcement for user-installed software prevent introduction and execution of untrusted libraries or commands.

Explicitly prevents execution of unauthorized software, directly blocking untrusted commands or libraries.
Assessing authenticity/integrity before acquisition reduces use of untrusted sources for commands/libraries.
Hardened configuration baselines can enforce trusted paths and execution policies.
Secure SDLC practices can embed checks against dynamic loading from untrusted sources.

Security testing can detect unsafe process or library loading but does not prevent it by itself.
Restricting software installation prevents loading untrusted libraries or executing commands from unknown sources.
Secure development lifecycle practices include controls on external code and command execution paths.
Application security requirements can mandate validation of external inputs and libraries.
Secure architecture principles discourage reliance on untrusted external processes or libraries.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid executing or loading code from untrusted sources.
