CVE-2025-25500 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue in CosmWasm prior to v2.2.0 allows attackers to bypass capability restrictions in blockchains by exploiting a lack of runtime capability validation. This allows attackers to deploy a contract without capability enforcement, and execute unauthorized actions on the blockchain.. EPSS estimates a 0.69% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
