CVE-2025-25053

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes an OS command injection vulnerability in the WEB UI setting page of Wi-Fi AP UNIT 'AC-WPS-11ac series' devices. If exploited, a remote attacker who can authenticate to the device can execute arbitrary operating system commands. This affects organizations using these specific wireless access point units.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Wi-Fi AP UNIT AC-WPS-11ac series
Versions: All versions prior to patch
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires attacker authentication to the WEB UI, but default credentials may be used if not changed.

⚠️ 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

Full device compromise allowing attacker to install persistent backdoors, pivot to internal networks, intercept network traffic, or brick the device.

🟠

Likely Case

Attacker gains shell access to execute commands, potentially modifying device configuration, stealing credentials, or launching attacks against internal systems.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact is limited to the isolated network segment containing the vulnerable device.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires valid credentials but command injection vulnerabilities are typically straightforward to exploit once authenticated.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.inaba.co.jp/abaniact/news/security_20250404.pdf

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download firmware update from vendor website. 2. Log into device WEB UI. 3. Navigate to firmware update section. 4. Upload and apply the patch. 5. Reboot device.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable WEB UI access

all

Disable remote WEB UI access and manage device via console or local network only

Network segmentation

all

Place affected devices in isolated VLAN with strict firewall rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Change default credentials and implement strong authentication
  • Restrict WEB UI access to specific management IP addresses only

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version against vendor advisory. If running unpatched version, assume vulnerable.

Check Version:

Log into WEB UI and check firmware version in system information page

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version matches patched version specified in vendor advisory and test WEB UI functionality.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution in system logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful login
  • Unexpected configuration changes

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from AP device
  • Traffic patterns inconsistent with normal AP operation

SIEM Query:

source="ap-logs" AND (command="*;*" OR command="*|*" OR command="*`*" OR command="*$(*)")
