CVE-2025-10262 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Nokia SR Linux resulting from improper sanitization of format validation inputs. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to escalate privileges to superuser by executing arbitrary commands. The CVE lacks a CVSS score and no vendor advisory or patch information is provided. The affected versions are unspecified, and no known exploits have been reported.

Successful exploitation enables an authenticated user to gain superuser privileges, potentially allowing full control over the affected system. This elevates the risk of unauthorized command execution and system compromise. However, exploitation requires prior authentication.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict authenticated user privileges and monitor for suspicious activity related to command execution. Avoid granting unnecessary access to reduce risk.
