Last modified
CVE-2025-59703 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. Entrust nShield Connect XC, nShield 5c, and nShield HSMi through 13.6.11, or 13.7, allow a Physically Proximate Attacker to access the internal components of the appliance, without leaving tamper evidence. To exploit this, the attacker needs to remove the tamper label and all fixing screws from the device without damaging it. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
