Summary

CVE-2025-15137 is a high-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Trendnet Tew-800Mb Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 5% 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-2025-15137 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-77) in the TRENDnet TEW-800MB firmware version 1.0.1.0. The issue resides in the sub_F934 function within the NTPSyncWithHost.cgi file, where improper input handling allows manipulation leading to arbitrary command execution.

Attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), achieving high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), as scored 8.8 by CVSS 3.1. Successful exploitation enables full system compromise on affected devices.

VulDB advisories note that the vendor was contacted early about the disclosure but provided no response or patches. The exploit is public and available for use, with details in references including https://pentagonal-time-3a7.notion.site/TRENDnet-TEW-800MB-NTP-2c7e5dd4c5a580f999adcaff2c31978b and https://vuldb.com/?ctiid.338515.

No real-world exploitation in the wild has been reported, but the public exploit availability heightens risk for unpatched TRENDnet TEW-800MB devices.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

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

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.
