Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-37176 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in AOS-8. It enables an authenticated privileged user to alter a package header and inject shell commands, which can affect the execution of internal operations. The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-13 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
An authenticated malicious actor with privileged user access (PR:H) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and without user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the impacted mechanism, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality (C:H) and integrity (I:H), but no availability impact (A:N).
