Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2025-60791 is a medium-severity Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in Memory (CWE-316) vulnerability in Packetstorm (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.2 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique OS Credential Dumping (T1003); ranked at the 1th 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SC-39 (Process Isolation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement limits which subjects can read memory locations holding the cleartext data.
Process isolation confines the cleartext data to its own execution domain, shrinking exposure.
Prevents unintended transfer of the cleartext contents through shared memory resources.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Explicitly calls for removing confidential data from process memory, directly mitigating cleartext storage.

Security testing can detect cleartext secrets in memory dumps or debug output.
Secure deletion practices reduce residual cleartext after use, but do not prevent initial storage.
DLP tooling can monitor and block processes that leave sensitive data unencrypted in memory.
Cryptographic controls can mandate encryption of sensitive data in memory, directly reducing cleartext exposure.
Secure-SDLC processes include memory-handling reviews that catch this weakness.
Secure-coding standards explicitly require avoiding plaintext storage of secrets in RAM.
