CVE-2025-56117 is an OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the Ruijie X30-PRO device, specifically version X30-PRO-V1_09241521. The issue affects the module_set function in the file /usr/local/lua/dev_sta/nbr_cwmp.lua, where a crafted POST request enables attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands. Published on 2025-12-11T19:15:57.153, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to network accessibility and significant impact potential.

Attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). By sending a specially crafted POST request to the vulnerable module_set endpoint, they can inject and execute arbitrary OS commands, resulting in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (C:H/I:H/A:H) within the unchanged security scope (S:U).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
