Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The Chassis Management Board in Entrust nShield Connect XC, nShield 5c, and nShield HSMi through 13.6.11, or 13.7, allows a physically proximate attacker to persistently modify firmware and influence the (insecurely configured) appliance boot process. To exploit this, the attacker must modify the firmware via JTAG or perform an upgrade to the chassis management board firmware. This is called F03.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-59694 presents notable security risk rated CVSS 6.8. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
