CVE-2025-24005· NVD / CVE Program· CNA CERTVDE

Local Privilege Escalation via Vulnerable SSH Script

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.14% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3000 1.7.3; Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3050 1.7.3; Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3100 1.7.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3000 1.7.3; Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3050 1.7.3; Phoenix Contact CHARX SEC-3100 1.7.3 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

A local attacker with a local user account can leverage a vulnerable script via SSH to escalate privileges to root due to improper input validation.
