Summary

CVE-2025-57198 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Avtech Dgm1104 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Network Device CLI (T1059.008); ranked in the top 23.6% 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 Network Device CLI (T1059.008) and 2 other techniques. 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 prevents command injection in the Machine.cgi endpoint by enforcing validation of crafted inputs using organization-defined tools and procedures.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Requires timely identification, reporting, and correction of the specific authenticated command injection flaw (CVE-2025-57198) in Machine.cgi.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions good match

prevent

Restricts classes of inputs to the Machine.cgi endpoint, blocking malicious crafted payloads that enable arbitrary command execution.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1059.008 Network Device CLI Execution

Adversaries may abuse scripting or built-in command line interpreters (CLI) on network devices to execute malicious command and payloads.

Why these techniques?

Authenticated command injection in web CGI endpoint enables arbitrary command execution on network device (T1059.008 Network Device CLI), exploitation of public-facing application (T1190), and exploitation for privilege escalation (T1068).

NVD Description

AVTECH SECURITY Corporation DGM1104 FullImg-1015-1004-1006-1003 was discovered to contain an authenticated command injection vulnerability in the Machine.cgi endpoint. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted input.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-57198, published on 2025-12-03, is an authenticated command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in the Machine.cgi endpoint of AVTECH SECURITY Corporation's DGM1104 FullImg-1015-1004-1006-1003. This flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted input. The vulnerability 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 its potential for significant impact.

Exploitation requires low privileges, specifically authenticated access (PR:L), and can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful attacks enable arbitrary command execution on the affected device, resulting in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (C:H/I:H/A:H) within the same security scope (S:U).
