CVE-2025-48505: Security Vulnerability in AMD Vitis™ Unified Installer for FPGAs & Adaptive SoCs in Windows
Weak permissions in the Vitis™ Unified installation path on local Windows machines could allow a low-privileged user to achieve privileged escalation, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves weak permissions in the installation directory of AMD's Vitis™ Unified Installer for FPGAs & Adaptive SoCs on Windows platforms. Because of these weak permissions, a user with limited privileges could escalate their privileges, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.3, indicating a high severity. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction, and the vulnerability has not been reported as exploited in the wild. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
A low-privileged user on a local Windows machine could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges, potentially gaining higher system privileges and executing arbitrary code. This could compromise the affected system's security and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict local access to trusted users and monitor for suspicious activity related to the Vitis™ Unified Installer installation path.
