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: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
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: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Exploit Code Maturity: Unproven: No exploit code is available, or an exploit is theoretical.
Remediation Level: Official Fix: A complete vendor solution is available. Either the vendor has issued an official patch, or an upgrade is available.
Report Confidence: Confirmed: Detailed reports exist, or functional reproduction is possible (functional exploits may provide this). Source code is available to independently verify the assertions of the research, or the author or vendor of the affected code has confirmed the presence of the vulnerability.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 11 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

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

Limit app permissions on Android devices to restrict OneDrive’s access to only necessary directories and files, minimizing the attack surface.
Employ mobile device management (MDM) solutions to enforce security policies, including restricting installation of untrusted apps and controlling network access.
Monitor device and network activity for unusual file access patterns or privilege escalation attempts related to OneDrive.
Educate users and administrators about the risks of privilege escalation vulnerabilities and encourage vigilance regarding app behavior.
Apply security updates and patches from Microsoft promptly once they become available to address this vulnerability.
Consider isolating or sandboxing OneDrive usage on sensitive devices to limit potential damage from exploitation.
Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools capable of detecting anomalous file system activities indicative of path traversal exploitation.
Review and audit file access controls and permissions within OneDrive and the underlying Android file system to ensure least privilege principles are enforced. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on controlling app permissions, monitoring for specific exploitation behaviors, and preparing for patch deployment.

Description

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in OneDrive for Android allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-60722 is on the integrity of data stored or accessed through OneDrive for Android. An attacker with some level of access could exploit this vulnerability to manipulate or overwrite files outside the intended directories, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in critical files or configurations. This could facilitate further privilege escalation, data tampering, or persistence mechanisms on the device. Although confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity compromise could indirectly lead to data loss or corruption, undermining trust in the affected systems. Organizations relying on OneDrive for Android for business-critical file synchronization and storage could face operational disruptions, data integrity issues, and potential compliance violations if exploited. The network attack vector and lack of required user interaction increase the risk of remote exploitation, especially in environments where devices are connected to untrusted networks. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the lack of an official patch increases urgency for interim protective measures.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #6OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).
