CVE-2025-68131 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting the agronholm cbor2 library, versions 3.0.0 through 5.7.x. It allows an unauthenticated attacker to read sensitive data from previously decoded CBOR messages when a CBORDecoder instance is reused across untrusted boundaries. This is due to shareable tag (28) values persisting in memory and being accessible via the sharedref tag (29). The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity and high confidentiality impact, but no integrity or availability impact. Its FAUCET Risk Score is 85/100. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code or Metasploit modules are available. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, which is typical for most CVEs.
