Summary

CVE-2025-30347 is a medium-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Varnish-Software Varnish Enterprise. Its CVSS base score is 4.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 25th 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 SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — 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-2025-30347 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) affecting Varnish Enterprise versions prior to 6.0.13r13. It occurs in the handling of range requests on ephemeral MSE4 stevedore objects, enabling remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. The vulnerability was published on 2025-03-21 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.0 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N), rated as medium severity due to its low confidentiality impact and high attack complexity.

Remote attackers without privileges can exploit this over the network by crafting specific range requests targeting the affected stevedore objects. Successful exploitation allows limited disclosure of sensitive information, with a changed scope that may affect dependent components, but no integrity or availability impacts are possible.

The Varnish Software security advisory at https://docs.varnish-software.com/security/VEV00001/ provides details on the issue, and upgrading to Varnish Enterprise 6.0.13r13 or later mitigates the vulnerability by addressing the out-of-bounds read.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation directly finds out-of-bounds read flaws through static analysis, fuzzing, and dynamic bounds checks.

Secure engineering principles require bounds checking and memory-safe constructs that stop out-of-bounds reads from being introduced.

Process isolation confines the effects of an out-of-bounds read to the compromised process.

Input validation rejects malformed indices or lengths that would otherwise cause reads outside buffer bounds.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
