Summary

CVE-2025-26413 is a high-severity Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) vulnerability in Apache Kvrocks. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 50th 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.

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

CVE-2025-26413 is an improper input validation flaw in Apache Kvrocks that affects the SETRANGE command. The command fails to verify that the supplied offset value is a positive integer before using it as a string index, allowing an out-of-range access that terminates the server process. The issue is present in all versions through 2.11.1 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 with network attack vector and high availability impact.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted SETRANGE request containing a negative or excessively large offset. Because the command requires no authentication or special privileges, the attacker can repeatedly trigger the crash to produce a denial-of-service condition against any reachable Kvrocks instance.

Apache’s advisory and the coordinated oss-security notice both state that the sole recommended mitigation is to upgrade to version 2.12.0, which contains the corrected input validation logic. No work-arounds are documented.

EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0115, indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest before settling at the current value of 0.0052.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing input validation through analysis or test cases.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validity checks on information inputs, structurally preventing improper or missing validation.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Requiring documented development standards and tools can embed input-validation practices into the engineering process.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Testing against a defined set of requirements and using code review plus vulnerability scanning forces validation of inputs and handling of unanticipated conditions, reducing the chance that malformed data will be accepted.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure-coding guidelines and mandatory security testing (including code scans) compel developers to validate and sanitize inputs at design and implementation time, lowering the incidence of malformed or malicious data reaching downstream components.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Mandating input controls that include integrity checks and input validation ensures that untrusted data is examined before use, blocking the root cause of many injection and malformed-data weaknesses.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Security-by-design principles explicitly call for data validation and sanitization at every layer, reducing the chance that malformed or malicious input will be processed without scrutiny.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Requiring language-specific secure coding standards, peer review, SAST and documented mitigation of common programming errors forces validation of all inputs before they are trusted.

A.8.7 Protection against malware none match
none

Regular automated validation of system software and data content, combined with scanning of all inbound files, enforces input validation at the boundary before untrusted content is processed.
