Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-41272 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) discovered by Nozomi Networks Labs in the Console WebUI of Waterfall WF-500 TX and RX Hosts running version 7.9.1.0 R2502171040. The flaw permits improper neutralization of special elements in operating system commands, resulting in a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 that reflects network-accessible exploitation without authentication or user interaction.

Remote unauthenticated attackers can send crafted requests to the WebUI and achieve arbitrary operating system command execution on the affected hosts, granting them full control over device operations and data.

The sole reference points to the Nozomi Networks Labs advisory page for CVE-2025-41272. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0102, indicating emerging exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation and sanitization of all WebUI inputs to block the special characters that enable OS command injection.

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match
prevent

Enforces authentication and authorization checks before any WebUI function can invoke OS commands, eliminating the unauthenticated attack path.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match
prevent

Restricts network reachability of the Console WebUI to trusted sources only, reducing the remote unauthenticated attack surface.
