CVE-2025-62593
CVE-2025-62593 — Ray is vulnerable to RCE via Safari & Firefox Browsers through DNS Rebinding Attack
Ray is an AI compute engine. Prior to version 2.52.0, developers working with Ray as a development tool can be exploited via a critical RCE vulnerability exploitable via Firefox and Safari. This vulnerability is due to an insufficient guard against browser-based attacks, as the current defense uses the User-Agent header starting with the string "Mozilla" as a defense mechanism. This defense is insufficient as the fetch specification allows the User-Agent header to be modified. Combined with a DNS rebinding attack against the browser, and this vulnerability is exploitable against a developer running Ray who inadvertently visits a malicious website, or is served a malicious advertisement (malvertising). This issue has been patched in version 2.52.0.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade ray to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
CISA required action
Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Treat as emergency remediation because CISA KEV status is present.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to
MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.
CWE-352 · Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
- Bypass Protection Mechanism
- Read Application Data
- Modify Application Data
Mitigation: Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, use anti-CSRF packages such as the OWASP CSRFGuard. [REF-330] Another example is the ESAPI Session Management control, which includes a component for CSRF. [REF-45]
CWE-94 · Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
- Bypass Protection Mechanism
- Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
- Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
- Hide Activities
Mitigation: Refactor your program so that you do not have to dynamically generate code.

🚨 CVE-2025-62593 (CVSS 9.4) — Ray framework is being actively exploited. DNS rebinding → arbitrary code execution on developer machines. Botnet was exploiting it before the CVE even dropped. If your team uses Ray: upgrade to 2.52.0 today. 🔗 https://t.co/9RvhmXjLir https://t.co/2tqQFZiuzW

Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not rules we have tested.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for network-reachable ray.
- Monitor for scanner or exploit-pattern traffic after 4 public PoC repositories were reported.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2025-62593 is Ray is vulnerable to RCE via Safari & Firefox Browsers through DNS Rebinding Attack, a high vulnerability affecting ray from ray-project. The current evidence lists it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Yes: CISA KEV signal present. Public exploit evidence is: 4 public PoC repositories reported; 1 marked weaponized in current dataset. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 8.8 describes technical severity, while EPSS 17% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
