CVE-2025-35056 — Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) limited file read
Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) '/UserWeb/Common/MarkupServices.ashx' 'StreamStampImage' accepts an encrypted file path and returns an image of the specified file. An authenticated attacker can read arbitrary files subject to the privileges of NIX, typically 'NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService', and the ability of StreamStampImage to process the file. The encrypted file path can be generated using the shared, hard-coded secret key described in CVE-2025-35052. This vulnerability cannot be exploited as an 'anonymous' user as described in CVE-2025-35062.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+4
- Technical severity (medium)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Newforma Project Center).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (file handling), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2025-35056 is "Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) limited file read", rated Medium. It affects Project Center (Newforma); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.0 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.35% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
