Summary

CVE-2025-4122 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Netgear Jwnr2000V2 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 16% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

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.

A command injection vulnerability affects the Netgear JWNR2000v2 router running firmware version 1.0.0.11. The issue resides in the function sub_435E04, where unsanitized input to the host argument enables arbitrary command execution. It is tracked as CVE-2025-4122 with associated CWEs 74 and 77, carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3, and can be triggered remotely.

An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges can supply a crafted host value to the affected function and execute operating-system commands on the device. Successful exploitation yields limited control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the router without requiring user interaction.

The vendor was notified prior to disclosure but provided no response or patch. Public references consist of a detailed proof-of-concept on GitHub together with entries on VulDB; the Netgear support site contains no advisory or mitigation guidance for this issue.

EPSS remains low, with a current value of 0.0158 and a peak of 0.0175, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

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

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

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

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

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

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and output encoding that prevent injection flaws.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring of software and data can detect anomalous command execution resulting from injection.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Identifying recorded vulnerabilities enables remediation of command-injection flaws before exploitation.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

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.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection attacks in software design.
