Raw vector
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2025-6800 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Marvell Qconvergeconsole. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 33% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-6800 is a directory traversal vulnerability in Marvell QConvergeConsole that affects the restoreESwitchConfig method. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied paths before they are used in file operations, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive files. It carries a CVSS score of 7.5 and is tracked under CWE-22.
Remote attackers can exploit the issue without authentication to read arbitrary files on affected installations, with all actions executing in the context of the SYSTEM account. This allows disclosure of confidential configuration or system data that would otherwise be restricted.
The issue was originally reported as ZDI-CAN-24920, and the Zero Day Initiative advisory at https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-25-459/ provides further technical details for practitioners.
The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline after the July 2025 disclosure to a peak of 0.2557 on 2025-12-11 before settling at 0.2023, indicating a measurable increase in exploitation interest that warrants renewed attention.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
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.
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 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
