CVE-2025-11787

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a command injection vulnerability in Circutor SGE-PLC1000/SGE-PLC50 devices that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the operating system. The vulnerability exists in the 'GetDNS()', 'CheckPing()' and 'TraceRoute()' functions. Organizations using affected versions of these industrial control system devices are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Circutor SGE-PLC1000
  • Circutor SGE-PLC50
Versions: v9.0.2 through unspecified later versions (until patched)
Operating Systems: Embedded OS on Circutor devices
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the operating system layer of these industrial control devices. The vulnerability is in multiple functions that handle network diagnostics.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially gaining persistent access, disrupting industrial processes, or using the device as a pivot point into operational technology networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to device compromise, data exfiltration, or disruption of monitoring/control functions in industrial environments.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if devices are properly segmented, have restricted network access, and command injection attempts are blocked by security controls.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - If devices are exposed to the internet, attackers can remotely exploit this vulnerability without authentication.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems could exploit this, but requires network access to the devices.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Command injection vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity. The advisory suggests unauthenticated exploitation is possible.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check with Circutor for specific patched versions

Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso-sci/multiple-vulnerabilities-circutor-products-0

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Contact Circutor for firmware updates. 2. Download the latest firmware version. 3. Follow vendor instructions to update device firmware. 4. Verify the update was successful. 5. Restart the device as required.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate affected devices from untrusted networks and restrict access to necessary management interfaces only.

Input Validation at Network Perimeter

all

Deploy web application firewalls or network filters to block command injection patterns targeting the vulnerable functions.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate affected devices from untrusted networks
  • Deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems to monitor for command injection attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version via web interface or CLI. If running v9.0.2 or later unspecified vulnerable versions, the device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via device web interface or consult device documentation for version checking commands

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated to a version after the vulnerability was addressed. Check with Circutor for specific patched version numbers.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns
  • Multiple failed attempts to access diagnostic functions
  • Unexpected system process creation

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic to device diagnostic endpoints
  • Suspicious payloads containing shell metacharacters in requests to GetDNS, CheckPing, or TraceRoute functions

SIEM Query:

Example: 'source="circutor-device" AND (uri="*GetDNS*" OR uri="*CheckPing*" OR uri="*TraceRoute*") AND payload CONTAINS ["|", ";", "`", "$"]'
