CVE-2025-57200

6.5 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes an authenticated command injection vulnerability in AVTECH SECURITY Corporation's DGM1104 FullImg-1015-1004-1006-1003 firmware. Attackers with valid credentials can execute arbitrary system commands by sending specially crafted input to the test_mail function. Organizations using affected AVTECH security devices are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • AVTECH SECURITY Corporation DGM1104
Versions: FullImg-1015-1004-1006-1003 firmware
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux-based firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access to the vulnerable test_mail function. Specific firmware version naming suggests this may affect multiple device models using this firmware image.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise allowing attackers to install malware, pivot to other network segments, steal sensitive data, or disrupt security monitoring functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Local privilege escalation leading to unauthorized access to device configuration, network reconnaissance, or disruption of security device functionality.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and access controls prevent authenticated attackers from reaching the vulnerable interface.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit requires valid credentials but command injection vulnerabilities are typically easy to weaponize once authentication is bypassed or obtained.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: http://avtech.com

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check AVTECH website for security advisories
2. Download latest firmware if available
3. Backup current configuration
4. Upload and apply firmware update
5. Verify functionality post-update

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Restriction

linux

Restrict access to the device management interface to trusted IP addresses only

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DEVICE_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_IP] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DEVICE_PORT] -j DROP

Disable Vulnerable Function

all

Disable or restrict access to the test_mail function if possible in device configuration

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate affected devices from critical systems
  • Enforce strong authentication policies and regularly rotate credentials

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check device firmware version via web interface or SSH: cat /etc/version or similar command

Check Version:

ssh admin@device_ip 'cat /etc/version' or check web interface system info

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated and test mail function no longer accepts shell metacharacters

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution in system logs
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by test_mail function calls
  • Suspicious shell commands in mail-related logs

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from security device
  • Traffic to unexpected ports from device management interface

SIEM Query:

source="device_logs" AND ("test_mail" OR "mail test") AND (cmd.exe OR bash OR sh OR | OR ; OR $() OR `)
