Published: 27 January 2026
Summary
CVE-2025-41726 is a high-severity Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190) vulnerability in Certvde (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 33.0th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-41726 is an integer overflow vulnerability (CWE-190) affecting the web service of the Device Manager or a local API. A low privileged remote attacker can trigger the issue by sending specially crafted calls, leading to arbitrary code execution within privileged processes. The vulnerability received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
A low privileged remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network by targeting the Device Manager's web service or locally via the API. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to cause integer overflows, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution within privileged processes, thereby elevating access and compromising the system.
