Summary

CVE-2025-50428 is a critical-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Raspap Raspap-Webgui. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Unix Shell (T1059.004); ranked in the top 15.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Unix Shell (T1059.004). What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly addresses the command injection vulnerability by requiring validation and sanitization of user-supplied inputs like the unsanitized 'interface' parameter in hostapd.php.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mitigates the flaw through timely remediation by applying the available patch from GitHub pull request #1833 to eliminate the improper sanitization issue.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions partial match

prevent

Provides additional protection against command injection by restricting information inputs to approved types, lengths, and formats, complementing sanitization efforts.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1059.004 Unix Shell Execution

Adversaries may abuse Unix shell commands and scripts for execution.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

Authenticated OS command injection in the web interface allows arbitrary Unix shell command execution on the Linux host via unsanitized 'interface' parameter used in exec and shell_exec calls.

NVD Description

In RaspAP raspap-webgui 3.3.2 and earlier, a command injection vulnerability exists in the includes/hostapd.php script. The vulnerability is due to improper sanitizing of user input passed via the interface parameter.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-50428 is a command injection vulnerability in RaspAP raspap-webgui versions 3.3.2 and earlier. The flaw exists in the includes/hostapd.php script due to improper sanitization of user input passed via the interface parameter, classified under CWE-77. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity with high impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the affected web interface, injecting arbitrary commands through the unsanitized interface parameter. No user interaction or privileges are required, enabling low-complexity network-based attacks that could lead to full system compromise, including arbitrary code execution on the underlying host.

Advisories and patches address mitigation via updates to RaspAP raspap-webgui. A fix is available in GitHub pull request #1833 at https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-webgui/pull/1833.
