CVE-2025-0457

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-0457 is an OS command injection vulnerability in NetVision Information's airPASS product that allows authenticated users with regular privileges to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying server. This affects organizations using vulnerable versions of airPASS for network authentication or access control.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • NetVision Information airPASS
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in references; likely multiple versions affected
Operating Systems: Likely Linux-based systems running airPASS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access but regular user privileges are sufficient for exploitation.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

🔒 Custom verification scripts are available for registered users. Sign up free to download automated test scripts.

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise leading to data theft, ransomware deployment, lateral movement across the network, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive data, privilege escalation to administrative accounts, and disruption of authentication services.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact through network segmentation and strict access controls, potentially containing the attack to isolated segments.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - If airPASS is exposed to the internet, attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely after obtaining valid credentials.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, any authenticated user can potentially execute arbitrary commands and compromise the system.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Exploitation requires authenticated access but command injection is typically straightforward once the vulnerable parameter is identified.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified in references; contact vendor for patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.twcert.org.tw/en/cp-139-8362-efb33-2.html

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Contact NetVision Information for patched version. 2. Apply vendor-provided patch. 3. Test in non-production environment first. 4. Deploy to production systems.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all user-supplied data before processing.

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate airPASS systems from critical infrastructure and implement strict firewall rules.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate airPASS from critical systems
  • Apply principle of least privilege and monitor all authenticated user activities

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check airPASS version against vendor advisory and test for command injection in user input fields.

Check Version:

Check airPASS administration interface or contact vendor for version information.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify patch installation and test that command injection attempts are properly blocked.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful login and command execution
  • Suspicious process creation from airPASS service

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected outbound connections from airPASS server
  • Traffic to known malicious IPs or domains

SIEM Query:

source="airPASS" AND (event_type="command_execution" OR process_name="sh" OR process_name="bash" OR process_name="cmd.exe")
