CVE-2025-44880

Deeper analysis

A command injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-44880 affects the /cgi-bin/adm.cgi component in the Wavlink WL-WN579A3 wireless router running firmware version 1.0. The flaw, assigned CWE-78, permits unauthenticated remote attackers to supply crafted input that results in execution of arbitrary operating system commands. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction, with full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker with network reachability to the device can send a malicious HTTP request directly to the adm.cgi endpoint and obtain command execution. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to run any command supported by the underlying system, enabling actions such as configuration changes, data exfiltration, or deployment of persistent malware without authentication.

The sole reference is a technical disclosure that demonstrates the remote command execution path through the affected CGI script; no vendor advisory or firmware patch addressing mitigation steps is included in the available information. The associated EPSS score of 0.1446 has remained stable at its observed peak, indicating moderate and steady exploitation interest since publication.
