Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-7024 is an Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability (CWE-276) in the AIRBUS PSS TETRA Connectivity Server version 7.0 on Windows Server OS. The flaw stems from improper default permissions on a directory, enabling privilege abuse.
A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this issue by tricking or directing a user to place a crafted file into the vulnerable directory, leading to arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects low attack complexity and the need for user interaction, but high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability upon success.
A vulnerability fix is available and has been delivered to impacted customers. Additional details on CWE-276 are available at https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/276.html.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces approved authorizations on files and resources so overly permissive defaults cannot be exploited.
Requires least-privilege defaults so that installed files are not world-writable by default.
Requires documented, restrictive configuration settings that cover file and directory permissions.
Enforces access restrictions on changes, including permission settings applied during installation or configuration.
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 explicitly require correct default file permissions.
Defining and enforcing least-privilege access permissions directly prevents overly permissive defaults at install time.
Lifecycle management can encompass permission settings, yet the control is too broad to specifically mitigate incorrect defaults.
Secure SDLC practices include establishing secure defaults, but address only the development-phase portion of the weakness.
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.
Standard templates that restrict access to utility programs and host parameter settings prevent the assignment of overly permissive default permissions on critical resources.
