CVE-2025-22960
📋 TL;DR
Unauthenticated attackers can access debug log files containing session IDs and authentication tokens in GatesAir Maxiva transmitters. This allows session hijacking and unauthorized access to the management interface. Organizations using GatesAir Maxiva UAXT/VAXT transmitters with web management interfaces are affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers gain administrative access to transmitter systems, potentially disrupting broadcast operations, modifying configurations, or using devices as network footholds.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to management interface leading to configuration changes, service disruption, or data exfiltration.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if logs are secured or interface is isolated, though information disclosure still occurs.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires accessing exposed log files and using discovered session tokens. No authentication needed.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Not specified
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check GatesAir security advisories for patches. 2. Apply any available firmware updates. 3. Verify log file access is restricted post-update.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict log file access
allConfigure web server to block access to /logs/debug/ directory
# Configure web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx) to deny access to /logs/debug/
# Example Apache: <Directory "/path/to/logs/debug">
Require all denied
</Directory>
Network isolation
allRestrict management interface access to trusted networks only
# Configure firewall rules to limit access
# Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [mgmt-port] -s [trusted-net] -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [mgmt-port] -j DROP
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate transmitter management interfaces on separate VLAN with strict access controls
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block access to /logs/debug/ paths
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Attempt to access http://[device-ip]/logs/debug/xteLog* from an unauthenticated session. If log files are accessible, device is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check device web interface or console for firmware version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that accessing /logs/debug/ returns 403 Forbidden or similar error after applying controls.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthenticated access attempts to /logs/debug/ paths
- Multiple session creations from single IP
- Access from unexpected IP addresses
Network Indicators:
- HTTP GET requests to /logs/debug/xteLog* from unauthenticated sources
- Sudden session token reuse from different IPs
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND (url_path="/logs/debug/" OR url_path LIKE "/logs/debug/xteLog%") AND http_status=200
