CVE-2025-14184

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on SGAI Space1 NAS N1211DS devices through command injection in the gsaiagent component. Attackers can exploit this without authentication to potentially take full control of affected systems. All users running vulnerable versions are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • SGAI Space1 NAS N1211DS
Versions: Up to version 1.0.915
Operating Systems: NAS firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All configurations running vulnerable firmware versions are affected. The vulnerability is in the gsaiagent component's JSON API endpoint.

⚠️ 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).

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

Complete system compromise allowing installation of malware, data theft, ransomware deployment, and use as a pivot point into internal networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to data exfiltration, unauthorized access to stored files, and potential lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if network segmentation isolates NAS devices and strict outbound filtering prevents command-and-control communication.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly disclosed and the vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, making weaponization highly probable.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Vendor has not responded to disclosure. Consider workarounds or replacement if possible.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Isolation

linux

Block external access to the NAS device and restrict internal access to only necessary users/systems

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

Access Control

linux

Implement strict firewall rules to block access to the vulnerable endpoint /cgi-bin/JSONAPI

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "/cgi-bin/JSONAPI" --algo bm -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Immediately disconnect affected devices from the internet and place behind strict network segmentation
  • Implement application-level firewall or WAF rules to block malicious requests to the vulnerable endpoint

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version via NAS web interface or SSH if enabled. Versions 1.0.915 and below are vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check web interface at System > Firmware or via SSH: cat /etc/version

Verify Fix Applied:

No official fix available to verify. Monitor for vendor updates and test workarounds by attempting to access the vulnerable endpoint.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to /cgi-bin/JSONAPI
  • Commands containing shell metacharacters in request parameters
  • Unexpected process execution from web server context

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /cgi-bin/JSONAPI with suspicious parameters
  • Outbound connections from NAS to unknown external IPs

SIEM Query:

source="nas_logs" AND (url="/cgi-bin/JSONAPI" AND (param="RENAME_FILE" OR param="OPERATE_FILE" OR param="NGNIX_UPLOAD"))
