CVE-2025-30515

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-30515 is a path traversal vulnerability in CyberData 011209 Intercom systems that allows authenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to multiple system locations. This could lead to remote code execution, data theft, or system compromise. Organizations using affected CyberData intercom systems are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • CyberData 011209 Intercom
Versions: All versions prior to patch
Operating Systems: Embedded/Linux-based systems
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access but default credentials may be in use. Affects the web management interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise leading to ransomware deployment, data exfiltration, or use as a pivot point into internal networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Malicious file upload leading to web shell installation, credential harvesting, or lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation, file integrity monitoring, and restricted user permissions.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - If the intercom system is exposed to the internet, attackers can directly exploit this vulnerability.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Requires authenticated access but could be exploited by malicious insiders or attackers who have already breached the network.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires authenticated access but is straightforward once credentials are obtained. No public exploit code is currently available.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-25-155-01

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Review CISA advisory ICSA-25-155-01. 2. Contact CyberData for patch availability. 3. Apply vendor-provided firmware update. 4. Restart the intercom system. 5. Verify the update was successful.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate intercom systems from critical networks and restrict internet access

Authentication Hardening

all

Change default credentials and implement strong authentication policies

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls to limit intercom system exposure
  • Enable file integrity monitoring and audit file upload activities

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check system version against vendor advisory. Monitor for unauthorized file upload attempts in logs.

Check Version:

Check web interface system information page or vendor documentation for version checking

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version matches patched version from vendor. Test file upload functionality with path traversal attempts.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual file upload patterns
  • Path traversal strings in upload requests
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected outbound connections from intercom system
  • File uploads to unusual paths

SIEM Query:

source="intercom_logs" AND (event="file_upload" OR event="authentication") AND (path CONTAINS "../" OR user="default")
