ATT&CK techniques

No public source states how this vulnerability is exploited in ATT&CK terms.

The only authoritative CVE → ATT&CK mapping in the open — CTID's Mappings Explorer, pinned to a KEV snapshot of 2025-07-28 and ATT&CK 16.1 — does not include CVE-2025-32463. This entry was added to KEV on 2025-09-29, after that snapshot; of the 283 entries added since, 0 have a mapping. CISA's catalogue carries no technique field. kevmap does not infer techniques from the CWE (CWE-829) — here is why — and does not guess.

This page will change state automatically if a mapping is published. What is shown above is everything CISA publishes about the entry.

Sigma rules tagged with this CVE

1 rule in SigmaHQ carries the tag cve.2025-32463. These are shown as detection content for the CVE itself. Their ATT&CK tags are deliberately not rendered here: a rule author's tag is not an authoritative statement of how the vulnerability is exploited, and this page does not show techniques for unmapped entries.

Detects the creation of nsswitch.conf files in non-standard directories, which may indicate exploitation of CVE-2025-32463. This vulnerability requires an attacker to create a nsswitch.conf in a directory that will be used during sudo chroot operations. When sudo executes, it loads malicious shared libraries from user-controlled locations within the chroot environment, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation.
