CVE-2025-12816
An interpretation-conflict (CWE-436) vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and earlier enables unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures to desynchronize schema validations, yielding a semantic divergence that may bypass downstream cryptographic verifications and security decisions.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N
- Puntuación base: 8.6
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.74%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 53
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access85 % - Impacto principal
T1565.002Transmitted Data Manipulationimpact75 % - Impacto secundario
T1552.001Credentials In Filescredential access60 %
AV:N/PR:N sin UI permite explotación remota de aplicación expuesta. CWE-436 causa desincronización en validación de estructuras ASN.1, permitiendo falsificar datos criptográficos (T1565.002) o eludir verificaciones de seguridad que protegen credenciales/secretos.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
