CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-46295 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Claris Filemaker Server. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 42% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-46295 affects Apache Commons Text versions prior to 1.10.0, where interpolation features in the text-substitution API can be abused by passing untrusted input. These interpolators enable actions such as executing commands or accessing external resources, potentially leading to remote code execution (classified under CWE-94). The vulnerability has been fully addressed in FileMaker Server 22.0.4, indicating that FileMaker Server deployments relying on vulnerable versions of the Apache Commons Text library are impacted.
A remote, unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no user interaction required, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). By crafting malicious input for the text-substitution API, the attacker can trigger interpolators to execute arbitrary commands or access external resources on the target system, achieving full remote code execution.
The Claris support advisory at https://support.claris.com/s/answerview?anum=000049059&language=en_US confirms that the issue is fully resolved in FileMaker Server 22.0.4, recommending affected users upgrade to this version for mitigation.

Vulnerability Data
Apache Commons Text versions prior to 1.10.0 included interpolation features that could be abused when applications passed untrusted input into the text-substitution API. Because some interpolators could trigger actions like executing commands or accessing external resources, an attacker could potentially…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

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's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
