CVE-2025-64119

N/A Unknown

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-64119 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Nuvation Battery Management System that allows attackers to access protected functionality without valid credentials. This affects Battery Management System versions through 2.3.9, potentially compromising battery management infrastructure in industrial and energy environments.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Nuvation Battery Management System
Versions: through 2.3.9
Operating Systems: Embedded/Proprietary
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the BMS software component specifically; exact hardware models not specified in available references.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of battery management infrastructure allowing unauthorized control over battery systems, potential safety hazards, data theft, and disruption of critical energy operations.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to battery management interfaces leading to configuration changes, data exfiltration, and potential manipulation of battery charging/discharging parameters.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation and access controls preventing external access to vulnerable interfaces.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH if BMS interfaces are exposed to internet without proper controls, as authentication bypass allows direct access.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM to HIGH depending on internal network segmentation and access controls, as authenticated users could exploit this to elevate privileges.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Authentication bypass vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity once the bypass method is understood.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown - advisory suggests versions through 2.3.9 are affected

Vendor Advisory: https://www.dragos.com/community/advisories/CVE-2025-64119

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Contact Nuvation for patch availability and version information. 2. Apply vendor-provided patches when available. 3. Restart affected systems after patching.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate BMS systems from untrusted networks and implement strict firewall rules

Access Control Lists

all

Implement IP-based access restrictions to BMS management interfaces

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate BMS systems from production networks
  • Deploy network monitoring and intrusion detection specifically for BMS communication protocols

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check BMS software version; if version is 2.3.9 or earlier, system is vulnerable

Check Version:

Check via BMS management interface or consult system documentation for version query method

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify BMS software version is updated beyond 2.3.9 when patch becomes available

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Failed authentication attempts followed by successful access
  • Unusual access patterns to BMS interfaces
  • Authentication bypass attempts in application logs

Network Indicators:

  • Unauthorized access to BMS management ports
  • Traffic to BMS interfaces from unexpected sources

SIEM Query:

source="bms_logs" AND (event_type="auth_bypass" OR (auth_result="success" WITHOUT preceding auth_attempt))
