CVE-2025-48512: CWE-276 Incorrect Default Permissions in AMD AMD Ryzen™ 4000 Series Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Graphics (formerly codenamed "Renoir")
CVE-2025-48512 is a high-severity vulnerability in AMD Ryzen 4000 Series Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, caused by incorrect default permissions in the installation directory of the AMD general-purpose input/output controller (GPIO). This misconfiguration could allow an attacker with limited privileges to escalate their privileges and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.0, indicating significant risk, but no official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves incorrect default permissions set on the installation directory of the AMD GPIO controller in Ryzen 4000 Series Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics (Renoir). Due to these permissions, an attacker with local access and limited privileges could escalate their privileges, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates local attack vector, low attack complexity, no attack technique required, partial user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation level has been disclosed by AMD as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
An attacker with local access and limited privileges could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to privilege escalation attempts.
