Published: 09 January 2026
Summary
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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 32.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SC-7 (Boundary Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
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.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Restricts network access to the exposed /cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi endpoint, directly blocking remote exploitation of the command injection.
Requires validation and sanitization of the system_ntpIt parameter, eliminating the unsanitized input that enables command injection.
Enforces authentication and authorization checks before allowing administrative access to setparam.cgi, mitigating the default unprotected admin access noted in the related CVE.
