CVE-2025-65074
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows high-privileged attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on WaveStore Server through path traversal in the showerr script via the WaveView client. It affects WaveStore Server installations with WaveView client access. Attackers can gain full control of the server if exploited.
💻 Affected Systems
- WaveStore Server
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the WaveStore Server allowing arbitrary command execution, data theft, system manipulation, and potential lateral movement to other systems.
Likely Case
Privileged attackers with WaveView client access can execute commands to disrupt video management operations, exfiltrate surveillance data, or install persistent backdoors.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and privilege restrictions, impact limited to isolated video management segment with no critical system access.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires high-privilege WaveView credentials and knowledge of the path traversal technique in the showerr script.
