Overview
The CVE-2025-25735 vulnerability affects the Kapsch TrafficCom RIS-9160 & RIS-9260 Roadside Units (RSUs). This vulnerability allows attackers to modify SPI flash in real-time and potentially compromise the system or leak data. It’s a significant security concern for organizations using these RSUs and requires immediate attention.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability stems from the lack of SPI Protected Range Registers (PRRs) in the mentioned versions of the RSUs. This omission allows attackers with low-level privileges and local access to manipulate the SPI flash memory in real-time. This could lead to unauthorized changes in system behavior or data leaks.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual pseudo-code example illustrating how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
def exploit(target_system):
# Obtain low-level privileges on the target system
low_privileges = obtain_low_privileges(target_system)
if low_privileges:
# Access the SPI flash memory
spi_flash = access_spi_flash(target_system)
# Modify the SPI flash memory in real-time
spi_flash.modify("malicious_changes")
else:
print("Failed to obtain necessary privileges.")
This pseudo-code is for illustrative purposes only. In real-world scenarios, detailed knowledge of the system and the exploit would be necessary.
