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-2025-53696 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Johnson Controls, Inc iSTAR Ultra. 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-2025-53696/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53696/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53696","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53696/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53696","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hrv9-xx4c-jm2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Access control system","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious code into unverified firmware sections of iSTAR Ultra devices, bypassing boot-time integrity checks to execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Dragos","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-494","name":"Download of Code Without Integrity Check"}],"description":"iSTAR Ultra performs a firmware verification on boot, however the verification does not inspect certain portions of the firmware.
