CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-70084 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Opensatkit Opensatkit. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (T1003.008); ranked in the top 42% 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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-70084 is a directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in OpenSatKit version 2.2.1. The flaw exists in the FileUtil_GetFileInfo function, which processes crafted input values that enable attackers to access sensitive information or delete arbitrary files.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or privileges, requiring only low attack complexity and no user interaction, per the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Exploitation allows disclosure of confidential data through unauthorized file reads and potential deletion of files outside intended directories.

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.

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.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
