CVE-2025-32275
Auth Bypass in Ays-Pro Survey Maker ≤ 5.1.5.4
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-32275 is a medium-severity Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CWE-290) vulnerability in Ays-Pro Survey Maker. Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Name Resolution Poisoning and SMB Relay (T1557.001); ranked at the 24th 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 IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Proper unique identification and authentication of users directly stops spoofing-based bypass of authentication.
Device identification and authentication before connection prevents spoofing of devices to bypass auth.
Authentication of non-organizational users blocks external spoofing attempts against the scheme.
Authenticator management ensures credentials cannot be easily spoofed or reused to bypass authentication.
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.
Protecting, conveying, and verifying identity assertions specifically prevents the spoofing that enables authentication bypass.
Requiring authentication of users/services/hardware directly counters spoofing-based bypass when strong methods are used.
Proofing and binding identities reduces spoofing opportunities during enrollment but does not address runtime authentication implementation flaws.
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.
Security testing can detect spoofing vulnerabilities but does not prevent them by itself.
A.8.5 mandates strong, multi-factor, anti-spoofing-aware authentication techniques, protected log-on procedures, brute-force defenses, and session controls that stop spoofing attacks from bypassing authentication in most cases; the bounded remainder is certain protocol-level or implementation-specific spoofing vectors (e.g. certain MITM or credential-forwarding attacks) that still require complementary controls such as SC-8 or SC-23.
Authentication information management directly addresses credential handling that prevents spoofing.
Privileged access rights reduce attack surface but do not prevent spoofing of authentication.
Secure coding practices reduce implementation errors that enable spoofing.
Information access restriction relies on proper authentication but does not implement it.
