Summary

CVE-2025-36159 is a medium-severity Improper Output Neutralization for Logs (CWE-117) vulnerability in Ibm Concert. Its CVSS base score is 6.2 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Indicator Removal (T1070); ranked at the 2th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect output neutralization when log messages are constructed from untrusted input.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation reduces the chance that specially crafted data reaches log-message construction routines.

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.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices and coding standards directly require output sanitization for logs.

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.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect log injection flaws but does not prevent them at the source.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
degrades

Logging control directly requires proper log generation and handling, which mitigates improper output neutralization.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities rely on trustworthy logs but do not ensure log message integrity.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC includes coding standards that reduce log-related weaknesses but does not specifically address logging.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices mandate input validation and output encoding, directly preventing log injection.
