CVE-2025-59740
📋 TL;DR
This is a critical command injection vulnerability in AndSoft's e-TMS transportation management software that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server by sending a specially crafted POST request. All organizations using the vulnerable version of e-TMS are affected, potentially exposing their entire server infrastructure to compromise.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete server takeover leading to data theft, ransomware deployment, lateral movement to other systems, and persistent backdoor installation.
Likely Case
Initial foothold on the server leading to credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and deployment of cryptocurrency miners or botnet malware.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to network segmentation, application firewalls, and proper access controls preventing command execution or lateral movement.
🎯 Exploit Status
The vulnerability requires no authentication and exploitation is straightforward via POST request manipulation. Given the high CVSS score and command injection nature, weaponization is highly likely.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Update to latest version as specified in vendor advisory
Vendor Advisory: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/update-24092025-multiple-vulnerabilities-andsofts-e-tms
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Contact AndSoft for the latest patched version. 2. Backup current installation and data. 3. Apply the vendor-provided patch or upgrade to the fixed version. 4. Restart the e-TMS service and verify functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall Rule
allBlock or sanitize requests containing command injection patterns targeting the vulnerable parameter
WAF specific - configure rule to block POST requests to /clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP with suspicious 'm' parameter values
Network Access Control
allRestrict access to the e-TMS application to trusted IP addresses only
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="TRUSTED_IP" port protocol="tcp" port="APP_PORT" accept'
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="e-TMS Access" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=APP_PORT remoteip=TRUSTED_IP
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Immediately isolate the e-TMS server from the internet and restrict internal network access to only necessary systems
- Implement strict monitoring and alerting for any suspicious command execution or unusual POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by sending a POST request to /clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP with a command injection payload in the 'm' parameter and observing server responseCheck Version:
Check the e-TMS application version through the admin interface or application filesVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt the same command injection test after patching - it should return an error or sanitized response rather than executing commands📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual POST requests to /clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP
- Suspicious command strings in web server logs (cmd.exe, powershell, bash, etc.)
- Unexpected process execution from web server context
Network Indicators:
- POST requests to vulnerable endpoint with command injection patterns
- Outbound connections from web server to unusual destinations
SIEM Query:
source="web_server" AND (url="/clt/LOGINFRM_CAT.ASP" AND method="POST") AND (param="m" AND value MATCHES "[|;&$()]" OR value CONTAINS "cmd" OR "powershell" OR "bash")
