Summary

CVE-2025-32011 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness (CWE-305) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) and IA-8 (Identification and Authentication (Non-organizational Users)) — 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.

KUNBUS PiCtory versions 2.5.0 through 2.11.1 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability stemming from a path traversal flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-32011 and assigned CWE-305. The issue permits remote, unauthenticated access to the affected industrial configuration software and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

A remote attacker can exploit the flaw without credentials or user interaction to bypass authentication controls and obtain unauthorized access to the PiCtory instance, potentially allowing full compromise of the system and connected industrial components.

CISA has published ICSA-25-121-01 addressing the vulnerability, while updated packages are referenced at the Revolution Pi repository; operators should apply available updates or follow the advisory guidance for mitigation. The associated EPSS score rose materially from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0239 on 2026-02-25 before receding, indicating post-disclosure exploitation interest that warrants renewed attention.
