🛡️ CVE-2025-41697 — fl-nat-2008-firmware

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with physical access to the device, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

• Attack vector: Physical — the attacker has to touch the device.
• Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
• Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
• User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
• Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
• Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
• Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
• Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
