CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-25208 is a high-severity Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 17th 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2026-25208 is an integer overflow vulnerability (CWE-190) in Samsung Open Source Escargot that allows buffer overflows. The issue affects Escargot at commit 97e8115ab1110bc502b4b5e4a0c689a71520d335. It was published on 2026-04-13 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A remote attacker with no privileges or user interaction required can exploit this vulnerability over the network, though it demands high attack complexity. Successful exploitation enables high-impact consequences, including unauthorized disclosure of information, modification of data, and denial of service.
A pull request addressing the vulnerability is available at https://github.com/Samsung/escargot/pull/1554.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation (static analysis, fuzzing, unit tests) directly finds integer overflow defects before deployment.
Secure engineering principles require use of safe arithmetic constructs or language features that structurally eliminate integer overflow during calculation.
Input validation enforces bounds on values before arithmetic, stopping the conditions that trigger overflow or wraparound.

Secure SDLC practices directly require use of safe arithmetic, bounds checks, and testing that prevent integer overflows.

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and arithmetic checks that prevent integer overflows.
Application security requirements include bounds checking and safe arithmetic to avoid overflow conditions.
Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe integer operations and mandate overflow-safe constructs.
Security testing in development can detect integer overflows before release.
