Summary

CVE-2025-62630 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Advantech Deviceon\/Iedge. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 49th 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

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

CVE-2025-62630 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) stemming from insufficient sanitization of uploaded configuration files, enabling directory traversal and subsequent remote code execution with system-level permissions. The vulnerability affects components detailed in CISA's Industrial Control Systems Advisory ICSA-25-310-01, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low complexity, and low privilege requirements.

An authenticated attacker with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network by uploading a specially crafted configuration file. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to traverse directories and execute arbitrary code with system-level permissions, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected system, including high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

CISA's ICSA-25-310-01 advisory provides details on mitigation, available at https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-25-310-01, along with the corresponding CSAF JSON file at https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2025/icsa-25-310-01.json. Vendors including Advantech recommend contacting support via https://www.advantech.com/emt/contact for patches and remediation guidance. The vulnerability was published on 2025-11-06.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

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.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

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

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

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

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
