CVE-2025-69270 is an Information Exposure Through Query Strings in GET Request vulnerability (CWE-598) in Broadcom DX NetOps Spectrum on Windows and Linux platforms. Published on 2026-01-12, it affects versions 24.3.8 and earlier, enabling session hijacking by exposing sensitive information in GET request query strings.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating it is exploitable remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Attackers can intercept or predict session tokens exposed in query strings, allowing them to hijack active user sessions and potentially achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Broadcom has published a security advisory with details on mitigation and patches, available at https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/36756.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requiring confidentiality and integrity protection for transmitted data reduces exposure of sensitive query parameters even though the control does not forbid placing secrets in URLs.

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.
Secure SDLC practices directly prevent embedding sensitive data in query strings as part of input-handling and data-flow design.
HTTPS encryption protects query strings in transit but does not address the root design flaw of placing sensitive data in URLs.

Security testing can detect sensitive data leakage via query strings.
DLP solutions can detect and block sensitive data in URLs.
Network security controls can enforce HTTPS and block sensitive data in URLs.
Application security requirements should mandate avoiding sensitive data in query strings.
Secure architecture principles discourage exposing sensitive data in URLs.
Secure coding standards directly prohibit placing secrets in query parameters.
