Kria™ SOM: Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input
CVE-2025-48507 is a high-severity improper validation of specified quantity in input vulnerability in Kria™ SOM from AMD, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.6 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected Kria™ SOM versions: Version TBD. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.2% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of Kria™ SOM you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
