CVE-2025-3626

9.1 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This critical vulnerability allows remote attackers with administrator credentials to execute arbitrary operating system commands on affected devices by uploading malicious configuration files through the web interface. The OS command injection flaw enables complete device takeover. Organizations using vulnerable devices with administrator web access are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Specific product information not provided in CVE description
Versions: Version range not specified in provided information
Operating Systems: Embedded/Linux-based systems running vulnerable web interface
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires administrator credentials to exploit via web interface. Affects devices with configuration upload functionality.

⚠️ 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).

  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise allowing attacker to install persistent backdoors, exfiltrate sensitive data, pivot to internal networks, and render devices inoperable.

🟠

Likely Case

Attacker gains complete control of vulnerable devices, potentially using them as footholds for lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

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

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires administrator credentials but is straightforward once authenticated. Attack vector is through web interface configuration upload.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not specified

Vendor Advisory: https://certvde.com/en/advisories/VDE-2025-030

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Monitor vendor security advisories for patch availability. 2. Apply vendor-provided firmware updates when released. 3. Verify patch installation by checking version numbers.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Web Interface Configuration Upload

all

Remove or disable the configuration upload functionality in the web interface

Configuration specific - consult device documentation

Restrict Administrator Access

linux

Limit administrator account access to trusted IP addresses only

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s TRUSTED_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s TRUSTED_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Segment vulnerable devices in isolated network zones with strict firewall rules
  • Implement multi-factor authentication for administrator accounts and monitor for suspicious login attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if device has web interface configuration upload functionality and runs unpatched software. Review vendor advisory for specific version checks.

Check Version:

Device-specific - typically available in web interface or via CLI commands like 'show version' or 'system info'

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify installed firmware version matches patched version from vendor advisory. Test configuration upload functionality with safe test files.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual configuration file uploads
  • Multiple failed then successful admin logins
  • Suspicious command execution in system logs
  • Unexpected process creation

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from device
  • Traffic to unexpected ports or IPs
  • Large configuration file uploads

SIEM Query:

source="device_logs" AND (event="config_upload" OR event="admin_login") | stats count by src_ip, user
