Summary

CVE-2025-5310 is a critical-severity Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306) vulnerability in Sharepoint (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 43% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-14 (Permitted Actions Without Identification or Authentication) and IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Dover Fueling Solutions ProGauge MagLink LX Consoles are affected by CVE-2025-5310, a critical vulnerability that exposes an undocumented and unauthenticated target communication framework (TCF) interface on a specific port. The flaw stems from missing authentication for a critical function (CWE-306) and permits arbitrary file creation, deletion, or modification on the device.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit the exposed interface to alter files on the console, which may lead to remote code execution. The issue received a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3, reflecting its remotely exploitable nature without any required privileges or user interaction.

CISA published ICSA-25-168-05 to address the vulnerability in Dover Fueling Solutions products. The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0153 with no material rise after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Directly mandates unique identification and authentication of users before access to functions requiring identity.

Extends the same authentication requirement to non-organizational users accessing critical functionality.

Requires authentication of services before they can invoke or expose critical functions.

Explicitly identifies and limits actions permitted without authentication, preventing critical functions from being exposed.

Access enforcement requires prior authentication before any authorization decision for critical functions.

PR.AA-03 full match
blocks

Directly requires authentication of users/services/hardware, which eliminates missing authentication for critical functions.

PR.AA-01 partial match
blocks

Managing identities and credentials is a prerequisite for authentication but does not itself enforce it on critical functions.

PR.AA-05 partial match
blocks

Defining and enforcing authorizations assumes prior authentication and therefore only partially mitigates the absence of authentication.

PR.IR-01 partial match
blocks

Protecting networks from unauthorized access can be undermined by missing authentication but does not address the root authentication gap.

blocks

A.8.5 mandates choosing and enforcing appropriate strong/multi-factor authentication techniques (with anti-brute-force, session, and log-on protections) that directly stop exploitation of missing auth on critical functions; the bounded remainder is non-interactive critical functions (e.g. unauthenticated APIs or resources) outside its user/entity authentication focus.
