CVE-2025-20656
Status: AnalyzedMedium (6.8)—
In DA, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, if an attacker has physical access to the device, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS09625423; Issue ID: MSV-3033.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 6.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.12%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 2
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
