Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly mitigates the vulnerability by requiring validation of Boolean fields in incoming XRCE-DDS packets to reject non-valid values before processing.

SI-11 Error Handling good match
prevent

Ensures the agent handles errors from invalid Boolean values in crafted packets without crashing or disrupting service availability.

SC-5 Denial-of-service Protection good match
prevent

Protects against denial-of-service from remote malformed packet attacks by limiting effects and rejecting prohibitive communications.

NVD Description

An issue in Eprosima Micro-XREC-DDS Agent v.3.0.1 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a packet specially crafted to bear a non-valid value in any Boolean field.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-63548 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Eprosima Micro-XRCE-DDS Agent version 3.0.1. The issue arises when the agent processes a specially crafted packet containing a non-valid value in any Boolean field, leading to a crash or service disruption. It has 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) and is associated with CWE-241.

A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction by sending a malicious packet over the network. Successful exploitation results in high-impact availability disruption, such as denial of service against the affected agent, with low attack complexity required.
