How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-32983 affects NETSCOUT nGeniusONE versions before 6.4.0 b2350, leading to technical information disclosure via stack traces. When the application encounters an unhandled exception, it leaks sensitive debugging details, including memory addresses and execution paths, in error responses. Attackers can exploit this by sending malformed requests to trigger these exceptions, gaining insights into the system’s internal state. This data can aid further attacks, such as memory corruption exploits or bypassing security controls. The vulnerability stems from improper error handling, where debug information is exposed instead of sanitized messages.

Prediction: Patch expected by 07/15/2025
What Undercode Say:
Analytics:
- Attack complexity: Low (no authentication required)
- Exploitability: High (triggers via crafted requests)
- Impact: Medium (exposes system internals)
Exploit Command (PoC):
curl -X POST "http://target/api/v1/endpoint" -d '{"malformed":"payload"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
Mitigation Commands:
1. Disable Debug Mode:
server {
error_page 500 /generic-error.html;
location / {
proxy_intercept_errors on;
}
}
2. Patch Verification:
grep "version" /opt/netscout/ngeniusone/RELEASE_NOTES
3. WAF Rule (ModSecurity):
SecRule RESPONSE_BODY "debug|stack trace" "id:1000,deny,msg:'CVE-2025-32983 Block'"
Detection Script (Python):
import requests
response = requests.get("http://target/error-path")
if "stack trace" in response.text:
print("Vulnerable to CVE-2025-32983")
Patch Advisory:
- Upgrade to nGeniusONE 6.4.0 b2350+
- Apply input validation filters for API endpoints
- Log and monitor stack trace occurrences
Post-Patch Check:
journalctl -u ngeniusone | grep "stack trace"
