Summary

CVE-2025-60466 is a medium-severity Use After Free (CWE-416) vulnerability in Gpac Gpac. Its CVSS base score is 5.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Malicious File (T1204.002); ranked at the 6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Directly requires timely patching of the identified use-after-free flaw in gf_filter_pid_get_packet before a crafted media file can trigger the DoS.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match
prevent

Enforces validation and sanitization of untrusted media file input that reaches the filter_pid processing path, reducing the chance a malformed packet triggers the UAF.

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection partial match
prevent

Requires malicious-code / content inspection mechanisms that can block or quarantine crafted media files before they are processed by the vulnerable GPAC component.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly incorporate memory-safety tooling and reviews that prevent most use-after-free defects.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can discover use-after-free issues via scanning or analysis but do not prevent their introduction.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching removes known use-after-free instances after they have been introduced in released software.
