Summary

CVE-2024-25850 is a critical-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Netis-Systems Wf2780 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Netis WF2780 firmware version 2.1.40144 contains a command injection vulnerability in the wps_ap_ssid5g parameter, tracked as CVE-2024-25850 under CWE-77. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible exploitation without authentication or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted value to the parameter and execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Public references consist of a GitHub proof-of-concept description and the vendor site; neither advisory nor patch information is supplied in the available references. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1315 with no material increase since disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.

Input validation directly stops construction of commands from untrusted data containing special elements.

Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.

prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.

finds

Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent command injection.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.

none

Environment separation limits the blast radius of an exploited command injection but does not prevent the flaw itself.
