Summary

CVE-2025-43866 is a low-severity Use of Insufficiently Random Values (CWE-330) vulnerability in Vantage6 Vantage6. Its CVSS base score is 1.7 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Forge Web Credentials (T1606); ranked at the 26th 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 SC-12 (Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management) and SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-12 requires proper cryptographic key establishment and management, which structurally mandates use of sufficient randomness for key generation.

SC-13 requires selection and implementation of approved cryptographic algorithms and methods, which inherently depend on and enforce sufficiently random values.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly enforce use of cryptographically strong RNGs and catch insufficient randomness during design, coding, and testing.

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.

prevents

Cryptographic controls require use of approved, sufficiently random values for keys and nonces.

finds

Security testing can detect weak randomness but does not prescribe the control itself.

prevents

Secure SDLC processes include verification steps that can catch insufficient randomness but do not directly specify RNG requirements.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly prohibit use of weak or predictable random number generators.

degrades

Secure authentication mechanisms depend on unpredictable values (nonces, salts, session tokens) to resist guessing.
