CVE-2025-6000
A privileged Vault operator within the root namespace with write permission to {{sys/audit}} may obtain code execution on the underlying host if a plugin directory is set in Vault’s configuration. Fixed in Vault Community Edition 1.20.1 and Vault Enterprise 1.20.1, 1.19.7, 1.18.12, and 1.16.23.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.91%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 59
- Fecha de la puntuación: 3/10/2026

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement95 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation75 %
AV:N con PR:H indica acceso remoto privilegiado a servicio (Vault); CWE-94 (código dinámico) + "code execution on the underlying host" → T1059. Escalada implícita de operator a RCE → T1068 secundario.
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.
