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-2025-65118 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-2025-65118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-65118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-65118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-65118/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-65118","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-24vm-pm89-83j4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AVEVA Process Optimization","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can exploit an uncontrolled search path to load arbitrary code and escalate privileges to system level on the Model Application Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"process_optimization","vendor":"aveva"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"The vulnerability, if exploited, could allow an authenticated miscreant \n(OS Standard User) to trick Process Optimization services into loading \narbitrary code and escalate privileges to OS System, potentially \nresulting in complete compromise of the Model Application Server.","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 Uncontrolled Search Path Element","id":"CVE-2025-65118","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Affinity","id":"CVE-2025-65119"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Use of Potentially Dangerous Function","id":"CVE-2025-65117"},"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":8.6,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Missing Authorization","id":"CVE-2025-64729","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-16"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"AVEVA Process Optimization Use of Potentially Dangerous Function","id":"CVE-2025-65117","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 exploit an uncontrolled search path to load arbitrary code and escalate privileges to system level on the Model Application Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-65118/"}
