CVE-2025-56362 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.7) affecting matter. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

A reachable assertion vulnerability exists in the Matter SDK (connectedhomeip) before 1.4.2, specifically within the Level Control cluster's periodic server tick logic. When a MoveToLevel command is sent and immediately followed by a write of OperationMode=2 (in the Pump Configuration and Control cluster), the server tick function violates the assertion `currentLevel < maxLevel`, resulting in a crash. This can be exploited remotely without authen

csa-iot matter DOWNGRADE

Affected: 1.3.0.0 · 1.4.0.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.3.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy matter || rpm -q matter || matter --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison matter sudo apt install matter=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold matter

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list matter sudo dnf downgrade matter-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add matter

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
