Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Security testing and developer training directly verify and enforce proper input validation, reducing exploitability of injection and malformed-data weaknesses.
Security testing and evaluation at multiple SDLC stages directly detects missing or flawed input validation, with the required remediation process ensuring fixes are applied.
Directly implements checks on information inputs to reject invalid data before processing.
Spam protection mechanisms perform filtering and detection on inbound/outbound messages, directly compensating for missing or weak input validation of unsolicited content.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Improper input validation enables remote exploitation leading to endpoint system crash (DoS).
NVD Description
In nr modem, there is a possible system crash due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-69278 is a vulnerability in the NR modem component due to improper input validation, which can cause a system crash.
