Summary

CVE-2025-60495 is a medium-severity NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) vulnerability in Infosec (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004); ranked at the 3th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-11 (Error Handling) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A segmentation violation in the gf_media_get_color_info function (/media_tools/isom_tools.c) of GPAC Project/MP4Box before 26.02.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted data file.

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.

Why these techniques?

NULL pointer dereference in media file parser directly enables local DoS via crafted input file (T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation of input data (crafted MP4 files) before processing in gf_media_get_color_info to prevent NULL dereference.

SI-11 Error Handling partial match
prevent

Ensures graceful error handling for invalid color info structures instead of segmentation violation leading to DoS.

SI-16 Memory Protection minimal match
prevent

Provides memory protection mechanisms that can contain or safely terminate NULL pointer faults during media file parsing.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices (static analysis, code review, safe coding standards) directly prevent NULL dereference bugs during development.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
detects

Security testing can detect NULL dereference defects before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates defensive coding practices that can prevent NULL dereferences.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify input validation and pointer-safety rules.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage defensive design that avoids unsafe pointer use.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly require NULL-pointer checks and safe dereference patterns.
