An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36171 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Aspera Faspex. 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-2025-36171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36171/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36171","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cc88-pf3q-mxp4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Aspera Faspex","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A privileged user can cause a denial of service in IBM Aspera Faspex via improperly validated API input leading to excessive resource consumption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aspera_faspex","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"IBM Aspera Faspex 5.0.0 through 5.0.13.1 could allow a privileged user to cause a denial of service from improperly validated API input due to excessive resource consumption.","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":"IBM Aspera Faspex denial of service","id":"CVE-2025-36171","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Cloud Pak for Business Automation","id":"CVE-2025-36172"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM QRadar SIEM cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2025-36170"},"products":["Aspera Faspex"],"published":"2025-10-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-47986","kev_date_added":"2023-02-21","published":"2023-02-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex XML external entity injection","id":"CVE-2023-27874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"OS command injection in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2026-14958","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"OS Command Injection in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2026-14959","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Aspera Faspex","id":"CVE-2026-14996","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2023-37400","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"IBM Aspera Faspex improper access control","id":"CVE-2023-30995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-08"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-09","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"A privileged user can cause a denial of service in IBM Aspera Faspex via improperly validated API input leading to excessive resource consumption.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36171/"}
