CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-2605 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Honeywell Mb-Secure Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.9 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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.
The vulnerability is an OS command injection flaw, tracked as CWE-78, that permits privilege abuse in Honeywell MB-Secure. It affects MB-Secure versions from V11.04 before V12.53 and MB-Secure PRO versions from V01.06 before V03.09, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.9.
An attacker with low-privileged network access and no user interaction required can inject operating-system commands, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability with scope extension beyond the vulnerable component.
Honeywell directs customers to update MB-Secure to V12.53 or newer and MB-Secure PRO to V03.09 or newer, and to obtain the most recent version of the affected product; further details appear in the vendor's security notices and the associated full-disclosure mailing-list post.
The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0191 with no material rise after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

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.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
