CVE-2025-14575
Uncontrolled Search Path Element in Qt Network OpenSSL TLS backend allows rogue CA certificate loading
02 Description
Uncontrolled Search Path Element in Qt Network OpenSSL TLS backend allows rogue CA certificate loading
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.09% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 0.6% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 1.8 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X
