Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Unity Runtime before 2025-10-02 on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux allows argument injection that can result in loading of library code from an unintended location. If an application was built with a version of Unity Editor that had the vulnerable Unity Runtime code, then an adversary may be able to execute code on, and exfiltrate confidential information from, the machine on which that application is running. NOTE: product status is provided for Unity Editor because that is the information available from the Supplier. However, updating Unity Editor typically does not address the effects of the vulnerability; instead, it is necessary to rebuild and redeploy all affected applications.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-59489 is a HIGH severity argument injection vulnerability (CVSS 7.4) affecting an unspecified product with publicly available exploit code. This vulnerability enables attackers to inject malicious arguments into application processes, potentially leading to command execution or privilege escalation depending on application context. Immediate patching is required to prevent exploitation before threat actors operationalize this publicly disclosed flaw.
Apply vendor patch. If patching cannot be completed immediately, implement network segmentation to restrict access to affected systems, disable unnecessary argument injection vectors if application-configurable, and enable enhanced logging/monitoring for argument manipulation attempts.
