Published: 21 July 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-7916 is a critical-severity Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) vulnerability in Org (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 10.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
WinMatrix3, a product developed by Simopro Technology, contains an insecure deserialization flaw tracked as CVE-2025-7916 and assigned CWE-502. The vulnerability resides in the application's handling of serialized data and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3, reflecting network-accessible attack vectors with no required authentication or user interaction.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the issue by submitting maliciously crafted serialized payloads to the server, resulting in arbitrary code execution with full control over the affected system. The attack requires no privileges and can be launched directly over the network.
Public advisories from the Taiwan Computer Emergency Response Team detail the flaw and are available at the referenced URLs. The current EPSS score of 0.0466 shows no material increase from its recorded peak.
