CVE-2025-31134 is a medium-severity Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data (CWE-201) vulnerability in Freshrss Freshrss. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); ranked at the 33th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces policy-based information flow rules that block transmission of sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
Enforces authorizations on logical access so that sensitive data is not released to unauthorized recipients.
Requires validation of outbound information to ensure sensitive content is not disclosed in responses or messages.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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.
Secure SDLC practices directly prevent insertion of sensitive data into application outputs and messages.
Monitoring runtime data flows and outputs can detect sensitive data being transmitted.
Protecting data-in-transit can include filtering or encrypting to avoid exposing sensitive content.
Protecting data-in-use includes removing confidential values before they are processed or sent.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Data-masking techniques can prevent sensitive values from appearing in transmitted payloads.
Classification identifies sensitive data so it is not inadvertently transmitted.
Labelling makes sensitive data visible to developers and prevents accidental inclusion in outbound messages.
Information-transfer rules directly govern what data may be sent to external parties.
PII-protection requirements reduce the chance of sending personal data to unauthorized recipients.
DLP controls inspect and block outbound flows that contain sensitive information.
