CVE-2025-55087
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn NextX Duo's snmp addon versions before 6.4.4, a part of the Eclipse Foundation ThreadX, an attacker could cause an out-of-bound read by a crafted SNMPv3 security parameters.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceNextX Duo's SNMP addon (built on Eclipse Foundation ThreadX RTOS) before version 6.4.4 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. Attackers can send crafted SNMPv3 security parameters to trigger the vulnerability, potentially allowing memory disclosure or denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm NetX Duo SNMP component is in useSearch your codebase, firmware image, or dependencies for the Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo SNMP library. Look for imports or references to nx_snmp.h, or scan binary firmware for SNMP-related strings and symbols.Affected if The NetX Duo SNMP addon is present in your deployed software or firmware image.
-
Identify the ThreadX NetX Duo versionLocate the version string for the ThreadX or NetX Duo library in your build artifacts, firmware, or documentation. Common locations: version macros in header files (NX_VERSION_ID), library file metadata, or release notes accompanying the firmware.Affected if The installed version is lower than 6.4.4.202503 (for example, 6.4.3.x or earlier).
-
Verify SNMPv3 is enabledReview your SNMP configuration to determine if SNMPv3 protocol support is active. Check configuration files, initialization code, or runtime settings that enable SNMPv3 security parameters (AuthPass, PrivPass, or security name settings).Affected if SNMPv3 mode is enabled and processing of SNMPv3 security parameters is active in your deployment.
-
Check SNMP service is exposedInspect network configuration to determine if the SNMP service is listening on accessible network interfaces. Verify whether the device is configured to accept SNMP requests from non-trusted networks.Affected if The SNMP service is running and reachable from network segments where attackers could send crafted SNMPv3 packets.
You are affected if your deployment embeds the ThreadX NetX Duo SNMP component at a version below 6.4.4.202503 with SNMPv3 enabled and accessible to network attackers.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped6.4.4.202503
Upgrade the NextX Duo SNMP addon to version 6.4.4 or later to obtain the patched ThreadX components.
ThreadX NetX Duo version 6.4.4.202503 or later
- 1. Identify all deployments of ThreadX NetX Duo SNMP addon in your environment
- 2. Check current version of ThreadX NetX Duo in use (versions prior to 6.4.4.202503 are affected)
- 3. Obtain ThreadX NetX Duo version 6.4.4.202503 or later from the Eclipse Foundation's official distribution channels
- 4. Review the ThreadX NetX Duo release notes for version 6.4.4 for any API or behavioral changes
- 5. Update the ThreadX NetX Duo library in your firmware/application to version 6.4.4.202503 or later
- 6. Rebuild and redeploy the affected firmware/application with the updated library
- 7. Verify the update was successful and test SNMP functionality
