CVE-2025-48566
HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk1th percentile - higher than 1% of all known CVEs
Summary
In multiple locations, there is a possible permission bypass due to a confused deputy. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker can gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the system. The lack of required user interaction increases the risk of automated exploitation.
Recommendation
It is recommended to apply patches provided by the operating system or application vendor. Also, restrict local access to the system and monitor for suspicious activity.
