CVE-2025-58580
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows attackers to create arbitrary log entries via an unvalidated API endpoint. Attackers can falsify or dilute logs, compromising audit integrity and potentially hiding malicious activity. This affects systems running vulnerable versions of SICK products with the affected API endpoint exposed.
💻 Affected Systems
- SICK products with vulnerable API endpoints
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ 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.
- Review the CVE details at NVD
- Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
- Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers completely compromise audit trails, hide evidence of intrusions, create false forensic evidence, and potentially bypass security monitoring systems that rely on log analysis.
Likely Case
Attackers inject misleading log entries to obscure their activities, dilute legitimate security alerts, and create confusion during incident response investigations.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and API access controls, attackers cannot manipulate logs, maintaining audit integrity and reliable security monitoring.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires only HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint with manipulated data. No authentication bypass needed if endpoint is exposed.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check vendor advisory SCA-2025-0010 for specific patched versions
Vendor Advisory: https://www.sick.com/.well-known/csaf/white/2025/sca-2025-0010.json
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Review SICK advisory SCA-2025-0010. 2. Identify affected products and versions. 3. Apply vendor-provided patches or updates. 4. Restart affected systems as required. 5. Verify the fix by testing the API endpoint.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict API Access
linuxBlock or restrict access to the vulnerable API endpoint using network controls or web application firewalls.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [API_PORT] -j DROP
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="[TRUSTED_IP]" port protocol="tcp" port="[API_PORT]" accept'
Input Validation Filter
allImplement input validation at the network perimeter to reject malformed log entry requests.
Configure WAF rules to block POST requests with suspicious log data patterns
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate affected systems from untrusted networks.
- Deploy monitoring and alerting for unusual log creation patterns or API endpoint access.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test if you can create arbitrary log entries via POST requests to the API endpoint without proper validation. Use tools like curl: curl -X POST http://[TARGET]/api/log -d '{"entry":"malicious"}'Check Version:
Check system documentation or vendor tools for version info; no universal command provided.Verify Fix Applied:
After patching, attempt the same POST request; it should be rejected or properly validated. Verify logs show only legitimate entries.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual log entry patterns, log entries with suspicious content, rapid log creation from single sources
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to log API endpoints from unauthorized IPs, abnormal request volumes
SIEM Query:
source="api_log" AND (http_method="POST" AND (log_entry CONTAINS "malicious" OR rate_threshold>100))🔗 References
