Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-12801 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux. 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-2025-12801/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12801/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-12801","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12801/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-12801","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2026:3938","ALSA-2026:3939","ALSA-2026:3940","BELL-CVE-2025-12801","CLSA-2026-1773224214","CLSA-2026-1773311565","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-12801","ECHO-eb83-cd7f-0158","GHSA-q8x7-j9x6-2fpc","OESA-2026-2597","OESA-2026-2598","OESA-2026-2599","OESA-2026-2688","RHSA-2026:3938","RHSA-2026:3939","RHSA-2026:3940","RHSA-2026:3941","RHSA-2026:3942","RLSA-2026:3938","RLSA-2026:3939","RLSA-2026:3940","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-12801","SUSE-SU-2026:1356-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-12801"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux NFS utilities","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An NFSv3 client can bypass export permissions and squash settings to access unauthorized subdirectories, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"nfs-utils","vendor":"linux-nfs"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"openshift_container_platform","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"},{"id":"CWE-279","name":"Incorrect Execution-Assigned Permissions"}],"description":"A vulnerability was recently discovered in the rpc.mountd daemon in the nfs-utils package for Linux, that allows a NFSv3 client to escalate the\nprivileges assigned to it in the /etc/exports file at mount time.
