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-2025-9020 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PX4-Autopilot. 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-2025-9020/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9020/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-9020","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9020/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-9020","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-979m-m2hv-h8pf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PX4 Autopilot","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with high complexity can exploit a use-after-free in the Mavlink Shell Closing Handler to potentially execute code or cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":2,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"},{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"A vulnerability was found in PX4 PX4-Autopilot up to 1.15.4. This issue affects the function MavlinkReceiver::handle_message_serial_control of the file src/modules/mavlink/mavlink_receiver.cpp of the component Mavlink Shell Closing Handler. The manipulation of the argument _mavlink_shell leads to use after free. An attack has to be approached locally. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The identifier of the patch is 4395d4f00c49b888f030f5b43e2a779f1fa78708. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"PX4 PX4-Autopilot Mavlink Shell Closing mavlink_receiver.cpp handle_message_serial_control use after free","id":"CVE-2025-9020","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"SourceCodester Online Bank Management System transfer.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-9021"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"tcpreplay tcpprep cidr.c mask_cidr6 heap-based overflow","id":"CVE-2025-9019"},"products":["PX4-Autopilot"],"published":"2025-08-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2025-08-15","vendors":["PX4"]},"summary":"A local attacker with high complexity can exploit a use-after-free in the Mavlink Shell Closing Handler to potentially execute code or cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-9020/"}
