Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-1785 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.1.
