Summary

CVE-2025-14705 is a high-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Sgwbox N3 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.9 (High).

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.

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

CVE-2025-14705 is a command injection vulnerability in Shiguangwu sgwbox N3 version 2.0.25. It affects an unknown function within the SHARESERVER feature, where manipulation of the "params" argument triggers the injection. The issue aligns with CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-77 (Command Injection), and it was published on 2025-12-15.

Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction, requiring only network access and low attack complexity, as indicated by the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (base score 9.8). Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution, potentially leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

VulDB advisories note that the exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized, with references including detailed entries at vuldb.com/?ctiid.336422 and a Notion page on the sgwbox NAS N3 command injection. The vendor was contacted early about the disclosure but provided no response, and no patches or mitigations are detailed in the available references.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

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