  • that can be chained together to achieve persistent root-level access. By exploiting an arbitrary file disclosure flaw (CVE-2025-40948), an attacker can gather sensitive system intelligence to facilitate a subsequent privilege escalation via command injection (CVE-2025-40947). The compromise is then cemented using a third vulnerability (CVE-2025-40949)
