Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 10 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Immediately restrict network exposure of the AxxonOne C-Werk session module by implementing firewall rules to limit access only to trusted internal networks and known management stations.
Deploy rate limiting and traffic shaping controls to prevent high load conditions that trigger the vulnerability, especially on session handling components.
Monitor application logs and system behavior for signs of memory reallocation errors, crashes, or abnormal session key handling events to detect potential exploitation attempts early.
Engage with AxxonSoft support channels to obtain information on patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and plan timely deployment once available.
Consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with custom signatures to identify anomalous traffic patterns targeting session management.
Implement redundancy and failover mechanisms for critical surveillance systems to maintain availability during potential service disruptions.
Conduct internal security assessments and penetration tests simulating high load scenarios to evaluate system resilience and validate mitigation effectiveness.
Educate security operations teams about this vulnerability to enhance incident response preparedness.

Description

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) in the OpenSSL-based session module in AxxonSoft Axxon One (C-Werk) 2.0.6 and earlier on Windows allows a remote attacker under high load conditions to cause application crashes or unpredictable behavior via triggering memory reallocation errors when handling expired session keys.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact is denial of service, which can disrupt security monitoring and surveillance operations dependent on AxxonOne C-Werk. This disruption could lead to gaps in physical security coverage, delayed incident response, and potential safety risks in critical infrastructure sectors such as transportation, energy, and public safety. Organizations in sectors with stringent regulatory compliance requirements for security and availability may face operational and legal repercussions if service interruptions occur. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication increases the risk of targeted attacks by threat actors aiming to cause operational disruption. Additionally, unpredictable application behavior could complicate incident management and recovery efforts. The impact is particularly significant for large-scale deployments or environments experiencing high session loads, where triggering the vulnerability is more feasible. European entities relying on integrated security solutions from AxxonSoft must consider this vulnerability a critical availability risk that could affect business continuity and safety.

CWE-119Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: High
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
