It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-12690 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Forcepoint NGFW Engine. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12690/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12690/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-12690","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12690/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-12690","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6c8f-r55r-h256"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Forcepoint NGFW Engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges on Forcepoint NGFW Engine due to execution with unnecessary privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"forcepoint","cpe":[{"product":"next_generation_firewall","vendor":"forcepoint"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"Execution with unnecessary privileges in Forcepoint NGFW Engine allows local privilege escalation.This issue affects NGFW Engine through 6.10.19, through 7.3.0, through 7.2.4, through 7.1.10.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation in NGFW Engine","id":"CVE-2025-12690","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Photonic Gallery \u0026 Lightbox for Flickr, SmugMug \u0026 Others","id":"CVE-2025-12691"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DoS in Calls plugin via malformed UTF-8 in WebSocket request","id":"CVE-2025-12689"},"products":["NGFW Engine"],"published":"2026-03-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall","id":"CVE-2019-6143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall","id":"CVE-2021-41530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-03-11","vendors":["Forcepoint"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges on Forcepoint NGFW Engine due to execution with unnecessary privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12690/"}
