High CVSS 8.5
CVE-2025-59172
NVD analysis in progress
Ericsson Packet Core Controller (PCC) versions prior to 1.38 contain an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements vulnerability allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code as root.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable from the adjacent network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Unfiltered input reaches the system shell, letting the attacker run their own commands on the server.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
