Niagara Framework: Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-3941 is a critical-severity use of incorrectly-resolved name or reference vulnerability in Niagara Framework from Tridium, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 4.14.2, 4.15.1, 4.10.11 as the first without the flaw, so updating Niagara Framework to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
