CVE-2025-40836

Status: AnalyzedHigh (8.7)—

Ericsson Indoor Connect 8855 contains an improper input validation vulnerability which if exploited can allow an attacker to execute commands with escalated privileges.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

AV:N requiere red; PR:L indica que el atacante necesita credenciales previas (privilegios o acceso adyacente). CWE-20 (validación de entrada) sin UI:R apunta a T1210. Impactos: ejecución de comandos (VC:H) y escalada a privilegios elevados (VI:H sugiere elevación de derechos).

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
