CVE-2025-31715

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-31715 is a command injection vulnerability in vowifi service that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. This affects devices running vulnerable vowifi implementations, potentially including smartphones, IoT devices, and network equipment. No authentication is required for exploitation.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Unisoc vowifi service
  • Devices using Unisoc chipsets with vowifi functionality
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in advisory; likely multiple versions prior to patch
Operating Systems: Android-based systems, Embedded Linux systems
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects vowifi service which may be enabled by default on affected devices. Exact device models not specified in initial advisory.

⚠️ 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 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root/administrator, install malware, exfiltrate data, or create persistent backdoors.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to device takeover, data theft, or use as a pivot point in network attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation, input validation, and privilege separation are implemented.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote exploitation without authentication makes internet-facing systems extremely vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internal systems are vulnerable to network-based attacks from compromised devices.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Command injection vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity. No authentication required based on CVSS score and description.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

Patch Version: Not specified in advisory

Vendor Advisory: https://www.unisoc.com/en_us/secy/announcementDetail/1944933773300793346

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check vendor advisory for specific patch versions. 2. Apply security updates from device manufacturer. 3. Restart affected devices. 4. Verify patch installation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable vowifi service

linux

Temporarily disable the vulnerable vowifi service if not required

adb shell pm disable com.unisoc.vowifi
systemctl stop vowifi-service

Network segmentation

all

Isolate affected devices from untrusted networks

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls to limit exposure
  • Deploy intrusion detection systems to monitor for exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device manufacturer security bulletins for affected models and versions. Review vowifi service version if accessible.

Check Version:

adb shell dumpsys package com.unisoc.vowifi | grep version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify security patch level matches vendor recommendations. Test vowifi functionality after patch.
