How do I detect CVE-2025-24804 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mobsf, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-24804 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2025-24804?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-24804 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2025-24804 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-24804 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2025-24804?

CVE-2025-24804 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 39th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2025-24804?

CVE-2025-24804 is classified as CWE-1287 (CWE-1287). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2025-24804 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-24804 was published on February 5, 2025 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Partial Denial of Service (DoS)

Product: MobSF Version: v4.2.9 CWE-ID: CWE-1287: Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input CVSS vector v.4.0: 6.9 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) CVSS vector v.3.1: 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Description: DoS in the Scans Results and iOS Dynamic Analyzer functionality Impact: Leveraging this vulnerability would make Scans Results and iOS Dynamic Analyzer pages unavailable. Vulnerable component: urls.py https://github.com/MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/blob/d1d3b7a9aeb1a8c8c7c229a3455b19ade9fa8fe0/mobsf/MobSF/urls.py#L401 Exploitation conditions: A malicious application was uploaded to the MobSF. Mitigation: Check the uploaded bundle IDs against the regex. Researcher: Oleg Surnin (Positive Technologies)

Research

Researcher discovered zero-day vulnerability Partial Denial of Service (DoS) in MobSF in the Scans Results and iOS Dynamic Analyzer functionality. According to Apple's documentation for bundle ID's, it must contain only alphanumeric characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9), hyphens (-), and periods (.). (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information-property-list/cfbundleidentifier) However, an attacker can manually modify this value in Info.plist file and add special characters to the <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> value. In the urls.py file URL rules are defined. https://github.com/MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/blob/d1d3b7a9aeb1a8c8c7c229a3455b19ade9fa8fe0/mobsf/MobSF/urls.py#L401

Listing 3.

bundle_id_regex = r'(?P<bundle_id>([a-zA-Z0-9]{1}[\w.-]{1,255}))$'

# skip code
re_path(fr'^ios/view_report/{bundle_id_regex}',
                ios_view_report.ç,
                name='ios_view_report'),

When the application parses the wrong characters in the bundle ID, it encounters an error. As a result, it will not display content and will throw a 500 error instead. The only way to make the pages work again is to manually remove the malicious application from the system.

Vulnerability reproduction

To reproduce the vulnerability, follow the steps described below.

• Unzip the IPA file of any iOS application.

Listing 4. Unzipping the file

unzip test.ipa

• Modify the value of <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> by adding restricted characters in the Info.plist file.

*Figure 7. Example with ' character`

• Zip the modified IPA file.

Listing 5. Zipping the file

zip -r dos.ipa Payload/

• Upload the modified IPA file to Static Analysis and wait until it finished • Open the following pages: http://mobsf/recent_scans/ http://mobsf/ios/dynamic_analysis/

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

Detect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mobsf, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update mobsf to 4.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-24804 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
