Connext Professional: Out-of-bounds Read
CVE-2025-8410 is a high-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Connext Professional from RTI, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 7.6.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Connext Professional to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
