CVE-2025-23094

7.3 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a command injection vulnerability in Mitel OpenScape 4000 and OpenScape 4000 Manager platforms. Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands with web access process privileges due to insufficient parameter sanitization. Organizations running affected versions of these Mitel products are vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Mitel OpenScape 4000
  • Mitel OpenScape 4000 Manager
Versions: V11 R0.22.0 through V11 R0.22.1, V10 R1.54.0 through V10 R1.54.1, and V10 R1.42.6 and earlier
Operating Systems: Not specified - likely proprietary Mitel OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All default configurations of affected versions are vulnerable. The vulnerability exists in the Platform component.

⚠️ 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 attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to data theft, lateral movement, or ransomware deployment.

🟠

Likely Case

Attackers gain initial foothold on the system, install backdoors, or use the compromised system as a pivot point for further attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if system is isolated, properly segmented, and monitored, though command execution capability remains dangerous.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Unauthenticated remote exploitation makes internet-facing systems extremely vulnerable to automated attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems could exploit this, but requires network access to the vulnerable service.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

No public exploit code known at this time, but unauthenticated nature makes exploitation relatively straightforward for skilled attackers.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check Mitel advisory for specific patched versions

Vendor Advisory: https://www.mitel.com/support/security-advisories/mitel-product-security-advisory-misa-2025-0001

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Review Mitel security advisory MISA-2025-0001. 2. Download and apply the appropriate patch for your version. 3. Verify the patch was successfully applied. 4. Monitor for any issues post-patching.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Restrict network access to OpenScape systems to only trusted networks and required management IPs

Web Interface Restriction

all

If possible, disable or restrict access to the vulnerable web interface component

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate affected systems in a dedicated VLAN with strict firewall rules
  • Implement network-based intrusion detection/prevention systems to monitor for exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check system version via OpenScape web interface or CLI. Compare against affected version ranges.

Check Version:

Check via OpenScape web interface: System Information > Version, or consult Mitel documentation for CLI commands

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify version has been updated to a patched release. Check Mitel advisory for specific fixed versions.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns in system logs
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful access
  • Suspicious process creation from web service

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from OpenScape systems
  • Traffic patterns indicating command and control activity
  • Unexpected network scans originating from OpenScape systems

SIEM Query:

Example: (source="openscape*" AND (process="cmd.exe" OR process="/bin/sh" OR process="/bin/bash")) OR (source="openscape*" AND event_type="command_injection")
