No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2025-24805 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-24805?

CVE-2025-24805 affects the following packages: mobsf (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2025-24805?

Update mobsf to 4.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-24805 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-24805 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-2025-24805 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-2025-24805?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-24805 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2025-24805 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-24805 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-2025-24805?

CVE-2025-24805 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 30th 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-2025-24805?

CVE-2025-24805 is classified as Improper Privilege Management (CWE-269). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2025-24805 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-24805 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.

Research

Researcher discovered zero-day vulnerability «Local Privilege Escalation» in Mobile Security Framework (MobSF). To reproduce the vulnerability follow the steps below.

• A user with minimal privileges is required, so the administrator must create a user account

Figure 1. Registration

• Go to static analysis of any application

Figure 2. Static analysis

• Go to the code review of the selected application and get a token with all privileges in the response

Figure 3. Token receiving

• This token can be used to retrieve dynamic analysis information that has not been accessed before.

Figure 4. No access demonstration

Figure 5. Token usage

As a result, the user is able to escalate the privileges.
