Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly prevents command injection (CWE-78) by validating and sanitizing information inputs to neutralize special elements used in OS commands.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mitigates the specific CVE by requiring timely identification, reporting, and correction of the command injection flaw through patching as per vendor guidance.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

prevent

Limits potential RCE impact from authenticated attackers by enforcing least privilege on accounts accessing the vulnerable OS component.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1059.008 Network Device CLI Execution

Adversaries may abuse scripting or built-in command line interpreters (CLI) on network devices to execute malicious command and payloads.

NVD Description

A command injection vulnerability exists in the AOS-CX Operating System. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the affected system.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-37157 is a command injection vulnerability in the AOS-CX Operating System. Successful exploitation could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct remote code execution (RCE) on the affected system. The vulnerability is linked to CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) and CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.7 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). It was published on 2025-11-18.

An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to achieve RCE. The CVSS vector indicates local attack vector with high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high impact to confidentiality and integrity, and no impact to availability.
