CVE-2025-43983

9.1 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

KuWFi CPF908-CP5 devices running WEB5.0_LCD_20210125 firmware have unauthenticated API endpoints that allow attackers to access sensitive information, modify device settings, and send SMS messages without authentication. This affects all users of these specific KuWFi devices with the vulnerable firmware version.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • KuWFi CPF908-CP5
Versions: WEB5.0_LCD_20210125
Operating Systems: Embedded firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices with this firmware version appear vulnerable by default based on CVE description.

⚠️ 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).

🔒 Custom verification scripts are available for registered users. Sign up free to download automated test scripts.

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 device takeover allowing attacker to change all settings, steal credentials, send malicious SMS messages, and potentially pivot to internal networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthenticated attackers retrieve admin credentials and modify device configurations for malicious purposes.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if devices are behind strict network segmentation and firewalls blocking external access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Devices exposed to internet can be directly exploited without authentication.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, any network user can exploit these endpoints without credentials.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires simple HTTP requests to specific endpoints with no authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None found in provided references

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Check KuWFi vendor website for firmware updates.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Control

linux

Block external access to device management interfaces

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

VLAN Segmentation

all

Isolate vulnerable devices on separate network segments

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Immediately remove devices from internet-facing networks
  • Implement strict firewall rules to only allow necessary management traffic from trusted sources

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Send HTTP GET request to http://device-ip/goform/goform_get_cmd_process?cmd=admin_password and check if password is returned without authentication.

Check Version:

Check device web interface or use curl -s http://device-ip/ | grep -i version

Verify Fix Applied:

Test if unauthenticated requests to goform endpoints now require authentication or return error.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unauthenticated requests to /goform/goform_set_cmd_process or /goform/goform_get_cmd_process
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful goform access

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to goform endpoints without authentication headers
  • Unusual SMS sending patterns from device

SIEM Query:

source="device_logs" AND (uri="/goform/goform_set_cmd_process" OR uri="/goform/goform_get_cmd_process") AND NOT auth_status="success"
