CVE-2025-36375 is a medium-severity CSRF (CWE-352) vulnerability in Ibm Datapower Gateway. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 6th 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-36375, published on 2026-04-01, is a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability (CWE-352) in IBM DataPower Gateway. It affects versions 10.6CD from 10.6.1.0 through 10.6.5.0, 10.5.0 from 10.5.0.0 through 10.5.0.20, and 10.6.0 from 10.6.0.0 through 10.6.0.8. The flaw allows an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N).
An unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R), such as tricking a legitimate user into visiting a malicious site or clicking a forged link. Successful exploitation enables high-impact integrity violations (I:H) by performing unauthorized actions on behalf of the trusted user, without affecting confidentiality or availability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement requires verifying that state-changing requests originate from the authenticated user rather than a forged cross-site source.
Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.

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 require anti-CSRF controls such as tokens or SameSite attributes.

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.
By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
Contextual intelligence about emerging CSRF toolkits can be translated into updated anti-CSRF token or same-site policy configurations across applications.
