Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:NSummary
CVE-2025-69970 is a critical-severity Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default (CWE-1188) vulnerability in Frangoteam Fuxa. Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Default Accounts (T1078.001); ranked at the 38th 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 CM-2 (Baseline Configuration) and CM-6 (Configuration Settings) — 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-2025-69970 is an insecure default configuration vulnerability in FUXA version 1.2.7, published on 2026-02-03. The flaw originates in the server/settings.default.js file, where the 'secureEnabled' flag is commented out by default. This causes the application to initialize with authentication disabled, exposing sensitive functionality without any protective measures.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no required privileges, though some user interaction is needed. Exploitation allows immediate access to sensitive API endpoints post-installation, enabling attackers to modify projects and control connected industrial equipment. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N) and maps to CWE-1188.
The vulnerable default configuration is directly observable in the settings.default.js file on the project's GitHub repository at https://github.com/frangoteam/FUXA/blob/master/server/settings.default.js.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Baseline configuration directly requires documenting and maintaining secure initial settings instead of insecure defaults.
Configuration settings mandate the most restrictive values be applied at initialization, eliminating reliance on insecure factory defaults.
Least privilege reduces the blast radius of any insecure default permissions that remain after initialization.
Security engineering principles include explicit requirements for secure defaults during resource initialization and design.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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.
Hardened baselines and configuration management directly replace insecure defaults with secure settings.
Secure development practices include designing products with secure defaults rather than insecure ones.
Pre-acquisition integrity checks can reject products known to ship with insecure defaults.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Mandating secure baseline templates and immediate replacement of vendor defaults directly stops systems from being deployed with insecure factory settings that attackers can exploit.
Requiring documented specification, testing, and acceptance of changes ensures that new or modified components are not initialized with insecure default settings that would otherwise be left in production.
Requiring suppliers to document secure configuration and implemented security functions reduces the likelihood that products will be initialised with insecure default settings.
