CVE-2025-66052 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Vivotek Ip7137 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 31% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-66052 is a command injection vulnerability affecting the Vivotek IP7137 IP camera, specifically firmware version 0200a. The issue arises in the "/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi" endpoint, where the "system_ntpIt" parameter is not properly sanitized, enabling command injection. All firmware versions may be vulnerable, as the product has reached its End-Of-Life phase.
An attacker with administrative privileges can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Due to the related CVE-2025-66050, administrative access is not protected by default, lowering the barrier for privilege escalation. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as reflected in the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
No patches or fixes are expected, as the vendor has not responded to the CNA and the product is end-of-life. Security practitioners should isolate affected devices, restrict network access, and monitor for unauthorized administrative logins. Additional details are available in the advisory at https://cert.pl/posts/2026/01/CVE-2025-66049.

Vulnerability Data
Vivotek IP7137 camera with firmware version 0200a is vulnerable to command injection. Parameter "system_ntpIt" used by "/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi" endpoint is not sanitized properly, allowing a user with administrative privileges to perform an attack. Due to CVE-2025-66050, administrative access is not protected…

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'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.
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).
