CVE-2025-61163
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-61163 is a critical-severity Permissive Cross-domain Security Policy with Untrusted Domains (CWE-942) vulnerability in Cohere North AI (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Drive-by Compromise (T1189); ranked at the 21th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as APIs and Models.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SC-7 (Boundary Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement requires approved authorizations and would reject policies permitting untrusted domains.
Boundary protection at external interfaces stops unauthorized cross-domain communication allowed by permissive policies.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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.
Vulnerability identification processes can surface permissive policy misconfigurations.
Hardened configuration baselines and reviews directly prevent permissive CSP or cross-domain policies.
Secure SDLC activities include review and testing of web security policies to avoid untrusted domains.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Network security policies can restrict cross-domain communication but do not specifically mandate strict CSP or cross-domain policy configuration.
Security of network services includes defining allowed endpoints, which can limit untrusted domains but does not directly address web-client policy files.
Web filtering can block untrusted domains at the network level, partially mitigating permissive cross-domain policies.
Application security requirements should specify secure CSP and cross-domain policy settings, directly addressing the weakness.
Secure architecture principles include defining trust boundaries, which can reduce permissive cross-domain allowances.
Secure coding practices require proper configuration of CSP and cross-domain policies to avoid untrusted domains.
