CVE-2025-1316
Edimax
CVE-2025-1316 is a critical vulnerability affecting Edimax IC-7100 devices, allowing for remote code execution. The device fails to properly neutralize requests, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted requests. With a SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 84, this vulnerability demands immediate attention and remediation. This high SVRS, coupled with its listing in the CISA KEV catalog and the existence of active exploits, underscores the urgency. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive data. The presence of active exploits 'In The Wild' significantly elevates the risk. Organizations using Edimax IC-7100 devices should immediately apply available patches or mitigations to prevent potential attacks.
Description
CVE-2025-1316 describes a remote code execution vulnerability in the Edimax IC-7100 IP camera. The device fails to properly neutralize requests, allowing an attacker to craft malicious requests that can lead to arbitrary code execution on the device. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 34. The vulnerability is actively exploited by hackers.
Key Insights
- Remote Code Execution: The core issue is the potential for remote code execution. This is a highly critical vulnerability as it grants an attacker the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the compromised device, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
- CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')): The categorization under CWE-78 indicates that the vulnerability likely stems from inadequate sanitization or validation of user-supplied input before being used in OS commands. This allows attackers to inject malicious commands that the system executes.
- Active Exploitation In the Wild: The vulnerability is actively exploited by hackers, which increases the urgency for immediate remediation, even though the SVRS is moderate.
- Impact on IoT Devices: As the vulnerability affects an IP camera, successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized surveillance, access to the local network, or use of the camera in a botnet.
Mitigation Strategies
-
Firmware Updates: Immediately check for and apply any available firmware updates provided by Edimax for the IC-7100. Firmware updates often include patches for known security vulnerabilities.
-
Network Segmentation: Isolate the Edimax IC-7100 on a separate network segment or VLAN to limit the potential impact of a successful exploit. This can prevent attackers from pivoting to other devices or systems on the network.
-
Input Validation and Sanitization: While the vendor needs to address the root cause, consider implementing network-level security controls to filter or block suspicious requests targeting the camera. This could include using a web application firewall (WAF) or intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS) to identify and block potentially malicious input.
Additional Information
While the CVSS score is low (0) the fact the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild means the impact could still be high and the CVSS score does not accurately represent the level of urgency. If users have additional queries regarding this incident, they can use the 'Ask to Analyst' feature, contact SOCRadar directly, or open a support ticket for more information if necessary.
