Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Directly remediates the deserialization vulnerability in Rexroth IndraWorks by applying vendor patches to prevent RCE from malicious serialized files.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

prevent

Requires validation of file inputs containing serialized data to block malicious payloads before deserialization occurs.

SI-16 Memory Protection partial match

prevent

Implements memory protections like ASLR and DEP to mitigate arbitrary code execution even if deserialization succeeds.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution

Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.

Why these techniques?

The vulnerability is a deserialization flaw in client engineering software exploited via a malicious file opened by the user, directly enabling Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203) and User Execution via Malicious File (T1204.002).

NVD Description

A vulnerability has been identified in Rexroth IndraWorks. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's system by parsing a manipulated file containing malicious serialized data. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a specially crafted file,…

which then causes the application to deserialize the malicious data, enabling Remote Code Execution (RCE). This can lead to a complete compromise of the system running Rexroth IndraWorks.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-60037 is a deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) affecting Rexroth IndraWorks engineering software. The flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's system by crafting a file with malicious serialized data. When a user opens this specially crafted file, the application deserializes the data, triggering remote code execution (RCE) and potentially leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Exploitation requires local access (AV:L) with low complexity (AC:L) and no privileges (PR:N), but depends on user interaction (UI:R), such as convincing the user to open the malicious file. An attacker can achieve high-impact effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) without changing scope (S:U), enabling complete compromise of the system hosting Rexroth IndraWorks.
