CVE-2025-65076
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-65076 is a path traversal vulnerability in WaveView client's ilog script that allows high-privileged attackers to read or delete any file on the connected WaveStore Server. The script runs with root privileges, enabling complete file system access. This affects WaveView client users connecting to WaveStore Server.
💻 Affected Systems
- WaveView client
- WaveStore Server
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete server compromise via arbitrary file deletion or reading of sensitive files (passwords, keys, configuration), potentially leading to data destruction or lateral movement.
Likely Case
Privileged insiders or compromised high-privilege accounts reading sensitive server files or deleting critical system files causing service disruption.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper privilege separation and file access controls are implemented, though root access still poses significant risk.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires high-privilege credentials in WaveView client. No public exploit code is known at this time.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 6.44.44
Vendor Advisory: https://www.wavestore.com/products/video-management-software
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download WaveView client version 6.44.44 from official vendor site. 2. Backup current configuration. 3. Install the update following vendor instructions. 4. Restart both WaveView client and WaveStore Server services. 5. Verify version update.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict ilog script permissions
linuxRemove execute permissions from the ilog script or restrict access to authorized users only.
chmod 644 /path/to/ilog_script
chown root:root /path/to/ilog_script
Implement strict access controls
allLimit high-privilege access to WaveView client and enforce least privilege principles.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate WaveStore Server from critical systems and implement network segmentation.
- Monitor and audit all high-privilege user activities on WaveView client and server file access patterns.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check WaveView client version: if below 6.44.44, system is vulnerable. Verify ilog script exists and has execute permissions.Check Version:
waveview --version or check application About menuVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm WaveView client version is 6.44.44 or higher. Test that path traversal attempts in ilog script are properly sanitized and blocked.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual file access patterns from WaveView client
- Multiple failed or successful file read/delete operations via ilog script
- Path traversal strings in application logs
Network Indicators:
- Abnormal data transfers from WaveStore Server to WaveView client
- Unexpected file access requests
