Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Security testing and developer training directly verify and enforce proper input validation, reducing exploitability of injection and malformed-data weaknesses.
Security testing and evaluation at multiple SDLC stages directly detects missing or flawed input validation, with the required remediation process ensuring fixes are applied.
Directly implements checks on information inputs to reject invalid data before processing.
Spam protection mechanisms perform filtering and detection on inbound/outbound messages, directly compensating for missing or weak input validation of unsolicited content.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Improper input validation (CWE-20) in the nr modem directly enables remote unauthenticated exploitation that crashes the system, matching Application or System Exploitation for Endpoint Denial of Service.
NVD Description
In nr modem, there is a possible system crash due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-61612 is a vulnerability in the nr modem stemming from improper input validation, mapped to CWE-20. This flaw can trigger a system crash and affects nr modems developed by Unisoc, as detailed in the vendor's announcement.
A remote attacker requires no privileges, authentication, or user interaction to exploit this over the network with low attack complexity. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service, specifically a system crash with high availability impact but no confidentiality or integrity effects, earning a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
