It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-65117 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AVEVA Process Optimization. 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-2025-65117/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-65117/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-65117","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-65117/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-65117","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cvm5-pcmg-6888"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AVEVA Process Optimization","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can escalate privileges to a victim's identity by embedding malicious OLE objects in graphics, affecting AVEVA Process Optimization users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"process_optimization","vendor":"aveva"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-676","name":"Use of Potentially Dangerous Function"}],"description":"The vulnerability, if exploited, could allow an authenticated miscreant \n(Process Optimization Designer User) to embed OLE objects into graphics,\n and escalate their privileges to the identity of a victim user who \nsubsequently interacts with the graphical elements.","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":"AVEVA Process Optimization Use of Potentially Dangerous Function","id":"CVE-2025-65117","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Uncontrolled Search Path Element","id":"CVE-2025-65118"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 and JP1/NETM/DM","id":"CVE-2025-65116"},"products":["Process Optimization"],"published":"2026-01-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Code Injection","id":"CVE-2025-61937","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2025-61943","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Code Injection","id":"CVE-2025-64691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Uncontrolled Search Path Element","id":"CVE-2025-65118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Missing Authorization","id":"CVE-2025-64729","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information","id":"CVE-2025-64769","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"}],"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":"2026-01-16","vendors":["AVEVA"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can escalate privileges to a victim's identity by embedding malicious OLE objects in graphics, affecting AVEVA Process Optimization users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-65117/"}
