## What is CVE-2025-0921?

CVE-2025-0921 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation AnalytiX, published on 15 May 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability in multiple services of Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric MobileHMI versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Hyper Historian versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric AnalytiX versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric IoTWorX version 10.95, Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS32 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric BizViz all versions, Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS versions 11.00, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions MobileHMI versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions Hyper Historian versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions AnalytiX versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions IoTWorX version 10.95, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS32 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions BizViz all versions,  and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS versions 11.00 allows a local authenticated attacker to make an unauthorized write to arbitrary files, by creating a symbolic link from a file used as a write destination by the services of the affected products to a target file. This could allow the attacker to destroy the file on a PC with the affected products installed, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the PC if the destroyed file is necessary for the operation of the PC.

Weakness: CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges)

Check this codebase for CVE-2025-0921 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2025-0921 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation AnalytiX, published on 15 May 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-0921 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation AnalytiX. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
