Rejected reason: This CVE ID was rejected because it was reserved but not used for a vulnerability disclosure.
This CVE is a placeholder and does not represent an actual vulnerability. It was reserved but never used for a vulnerability disclosure, indicating a potential misconfiguration or internal process error within the vulnerability management system. This lack of a valid vulnerability means there is no immediate threat to systems, but the existence of the CVE itself warrants investigation into the organization's vulnerability management practices.
Since this is a rejected CVE, there is no exploit mechanism. The steps below describe the intended process, which failed: Step 1: Vulnerability Discovery: A security researcher or internal team discovers a vulnerability in a software product. Step 2: CVE Request: The discoverer requests a CVE ID from a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA). Step 3: CVE Assignment: The CNA assigns a CVE ID (e.g., CVE-2025-34610). Step 4: Vulnerability Disclosure: The discoverer or vendor publicly discloses the vulnerability, including details and a fix. Step 5: CVE Record Population: The CNA populates the CVE record with details about the vulnerability, including its description, affected products, and references. Step 6: Failure: The process failed at step 4 or 5, resulting in the rejection of the CVE.
This CVE is a 'rejected' entry, meaning no vulnerability exists. The root cause is likely an internal error during the CVE assignment process. The specific function or logic flaw is within the system that manages CVE reservations and disclosures. The system failed to associate the reserved ID with a corresponding vulnerability report, leading to the rejection. This highlights a potential weakness in the organization's vulnerability management lifecycle, specifically in the process of assigning and tracking CVEs.
Due to the nature of this CVE being a rejected entry, it is not associated with any specific APT groups or malware. It does not appear on the CISA KEV list because it does not represent a real vulnerability.
Monitor CVE database updates for unexpected 'rejected' or 'reserved' entries. Unusual activity in CVE assignment processes should be investigated.
Review internal vulnerability management logs for errors or discrepancies in CVE assignment and tracking.
Implement a process to validate the existence of a vulnerability after a CVE is assigned, before public disclosure.
Review and improve internal processes for requesting, assigning, and tracking CVEs.
Implement automated checks to ensure that each reserved CVE is associated with a published vulnerability report.
Conduct regular audits of the vulnerability management system to identify and correct errors.
Ensure proper training for personnel involved in the CVE assignment and disclosure process.
