Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-6205 is a missing authorization vulnerability, tracked under CWE-862, that affects Dassault Systèmes DELMIA Apriso releases from 2020 through 2025. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 and permits an unauthenticated network attacker to obtain privileged access to the application.

An attacker can exploit the issue remotely with no credentials or user interaction required, resulting in high impact to confidentiality and integrity while leaving availability unaffected. Successful exploitation grants elevated privileges within the DELMIA Apriso environment.

The vendor has published an advisory at the 3DS trust center, and the vulnerability appears in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, indicating confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.

The associated EPSS score stands at 0.8280, equal to its recorded peak, reflecting sustained exploitation interest since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 directly requires enforcement of authorization decisions on every access request, structurally eliminating missing authorization checks.

AC-24 mandates that access control decisions are applied to each request, preventing bypass of authorization logic.

AC-25 requires a tamperproof, always-invoked reference monitor that ensures authorization checks cannot be omitted.

AC-6 reduces the set of actions reachable without proper authorization, limiting blast radius of missing checks.

PR.AA-05 full match

Explicitly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing authorizations and least privilege, directly preventing missing authorization checks.

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.

prevents

Requiring authentication and credentials before any access occurs eliminates the absence of authorization checks that would otherwise allow an unauthenticated actor to reach protected resources.

prevents

Requiring formal authorization of every access request before rights are granted ensures that checks for required permissions are performed, preventing missing authorization checks from being introduced.

prevents

Mandatory authorization checks and central records of granted rights ensure that every access attempt is preceded by an explicit decision rather than relying on missing checks.

mitigates

Segregating the approval of access rights from their implementation provides an independent check that reduces the impact of missing authorization checks in the resulting system configuration.

finds

By requiring competent outsiders to verify that every function enforces the need-to-know principle, the control lowers the likelihood that missing authorization checks persist undetected.

prevents

Defining authorization responsibilities and reviewing risk-treatment progress throughout the project lifecycle catches missing authorization checks before the system is deployed.
