Summary

CVE-2025-48862 is a high-severity Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CWE-311) vulnerability in Bosch (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Sniffing (T1040); 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-22 (Unsupported System Components) and SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Ambiguous wording in the web interface of the ctrlX OS setup mechanism could lead the user to believe that the backup file is encrypted when a password is set. However, only the private key - if available in the backup…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-22 directly requires replacing components once vendor support ends, structurally preventing reliance on unmaintained third-party code.

SC-13 mandates use of specific cryptography, structurally preventing unencrypted sensitive data.

SC-28 requires cryptographic protection of information at rest, eliminating the storage half of the weakness.

SC-8 requires protecting confidentiality of transmitted information, directly stopping missing encryption on the wire.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

PR.DS-01 directly mandates encryption for data-at-rest and therefore prevents CWE-311 mostly for storage, yet the weakness also spans transmission and other contexts that this single at-rest control leaves unaddressed.

GV.RM-04 partial match
prevents

GV.RM-04's high-level risk-response criteria can indirectly discourage unmaintained third-party use via policy, but alone removes none of the concrete supply-chain or maintenance decisions that produce CWE-1104.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-02 directly eliminates the transmission facet of CWE-311 via mandatory encryption but leaves the storage facet untouched, so each direction rates only partial.

finds

A maintained asset inventory plus scheduled scanning and patching directly reduces the window during which known vulnerable third-party components remain exploitable.

prevents

Explicit rules requiring encryption for sensitive information in transit eliminate the weakness of sending data without cryptographic protection.

prevents

Periodic validation, certification demands, and life-cycle monitoring of supplier components help surface and replace unmaintained third-party elements before they become exploitable liabilities.

prevents

Explicitly calling for protection of data in transit and at rest, plus secure encryption of communications, drives the implementation of encryption that prevents clear-text exposure of sensitive information.

mitigates

Regular exposure to external advisories and vulnerability disclosures helps teams identify and replace unmaintained third-party components before attackers can exploit known weaknesses in them.
