CVE-2019-25253 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2019-25253: KYOCERA Net Admin 3.4.0906 contains an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability in the Multi-Set Template Editor that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary system files. Attackers can craft a malicious XML file with external entity references to retrieve sensitive configuration data like database credentials through an out-of-band channel attack.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2019-25253

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2019-25253 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2019-25253

With low attack complexity and no required privileges, CVE-2019-25253 is an easy target for cybercriminals. Organizations should prioritize immediate mitigation measures to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2019-25253, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2019-25253, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: High
    Exploiting CVE-2019-25253 can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, severely compromising data privacy.
  • Integrity: None
    CVE-2019-25253 poses no threat to data integrity.
  • Availability: None
    CVE-2019-25253 does not impact system availability.

CWE-611

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Data Serialization External Entities Blowup CAPEC-221 This attack takes advantage of the entity replacement property of certain data serialization languages (e.g., XML, YAML, etc.) where the value of the replacement is a URI. A well-crafted file could have the entity refer to a URI that consumes a large amount of resources to create a denial of service condition. This can cause the system to either freeze, crash, or execute arbitrary code depending on the URI.
