Summary

CVE-2025-29314 is a high-severity Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CWE-311) vulnerability in Csdn (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 11th 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 SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) and SC-28 (Protection of Information at Rest) — 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-2025-29314 is a vulnerability stemming from insecure Shiro cookie configurations in the OpenDaylight Service Function Chaining (SFC) Subproject, specifically affecting versions Sodium-SR4 and below. This flaw, associated with CWE-311 (Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data), enables attackers to access sensitive information through a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts over a network.

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by positioning themselves between the victim and the OpenDaylight SFC service, requiring no user privileges or interaction but necessitating high attack complexity, such as compromising network traffic interception. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to access sensitive information, potentially leading to high-level compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected service.

References to the vulnerability include blog posts on CSDN, but no specific details on advisories or patches are available in the provided information.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-13 mandates use of specific cryptography, structurally preventing unencrypted sensitive data.

SC-28 requires cryptographic protection of information at rest, eliminating the storage half of the weakness.

SC-8 requires protecting confidentiality of transmitted information, directly stopping missing encryption on the wire.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

PR.DS-01 directly mandates encryption for data-at-rest and therefore prevents CWE-311 mostly for storage, yet the weakness also spans transmission and other contexts that this single at-rest control leaves unaddressed.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-02 directly eliminates the transmission facet of CWE-311 via mandatory encryption but leaves the storage facet untouched, so each direction rates only partial.

prevents

Explicit rules requiring encryption for sensitive information in transit eliminate the weakness of sending data without cryptographic protection.

prevents

Explicitly calling for protection of data in transit and at rest, plus secure encryption of communications, drives the implementation of encryption that prevents clear-text exposure of sensitive information.
