CVE-2025-60738
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on Ilevia EVE X1 Server devices via the ping.php component, which fails to properly sanitize IP address parameters. It affects all systems running vulnerable firmware versions, enabling complete system compromise.
💻 Affected Systems
- Ilevia EVE X1 Server
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full system takeover with root/admin privileges, data exfiltration, lateral movement to other systems, and persistent backdoor installation.
Likely Case
Remote code execution leading to service disruption, data theft, and use as pivot point for further attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if network segmentation and strict access controls prevent external access to vulnerable interface.
🎯 Exploit Status
Simple command injection via ping.php IP parameter; exploit code available in GitHub repository.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Unknown
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
Monitor vendor for firmware updates. If patch becomes available, download from official vendor portal and apply following vendor's firmware update procedures.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Block access to ping.php
linuxRestrict network access to the vulnerable ping.php component using firewall rules or web server configuration.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "ping.php" --algo bm -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -m string --string "ping.php" --algo bm -j DROP
Disable ping functionality
linuxRemove or rename ping.php file if system functionality allows.
mv /path/to/ping.php /path/to/ping.php.disabled
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate EVE X1 Server from internet and sensitive internal networks.
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) with command injection protection rules in front of the device.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if ping.php is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS and test for command injection by sending crafted IP parameter with shell commands.Check Version:
Check web interface or system logs for firmware version; typically accessible via admin interface at /admin or system status page.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify ping.php is no longer accessible or properly sanitizes input; test with command injection payloads that should be rejected.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual POST requests to ping.php with shell metacharacters
- System logs showing unexpected command execution
- Failed authentication attempts followed by ping.php access
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /ping.php containing pipe characters, semicolons, or backticks in parameters
- Outbound connections from EVE X1 Server to unexpected destinations
SIEM Query:
