Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-60960, published on 2025-10-06, is an OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in the EndRun Technologies Sonoma D12 Network Time Server (GPS) firmware version 6010-0071-000 Ver 4.00. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility and low attack complexity.
Attackers require no authentication privileges or user interaction and can exploit the vulnerability remotely over the network. Successful exploitation enables execution of arbitrary code, denial of service, escalation of privileges, and disclosure of sensitive information, with high impact on integrity and low impact on confidentiality.
