CVE-2025-11731
LowCVSS 3.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk17th percentile — higher than 17% of all known CVEs
Summary
A flaw was found in the exsltFuncResultComp() function of libxslt, which handles EXSLT <func:result> elements during stylesheet parsing. Due to improper type handling, the function may treat an XML document node as a regular XML element node, resulting in a type confusion. This can cause unexpected memory reads and potential crashes.
Risk Assessment
The risk for the organization is potential application instability or denial of service (DoS) if the vulnerability is exploited, although exploitation is difficult.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the libxslt library to the latest patched version and monitor security advisories from the vendor.
