Summary
CVE-2025-8828 is a low-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Linksys Re6250 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 2.1 (Low).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 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 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-2025-8828 is an OS command injection vulnerability affecting the ipv6cmd function in the /goform/setIpv6 endpoint of Linksys RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000, and RE9000 devices up to firmware version 20250801. Unauthenticated manipulation of multiple IPv6 and PPPoE-related parameters, including Ipv6PriDns, Ipv6SecDns, Ipv6StaticGateway, pppoeUser, and several others, allows arbitrary command execution on the underlying system. The issue maps to CWE-77 and CWE-78 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1.
An attacker with low-privileged network access can send a crafted HTTP request to the affected endpoint and achieve limited code execution on the device. Public proof-of-concept code has been released, confirming remote exploitability without user interaction.
No vendor patch or official advisory is available; the vendor was notified but did not respond. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0415 with no observed increase since disclosure.

Vulnerability Data
A vulnerability was determined in Linksys RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000 and RE9000 up to 20250801. Affected is the function ipv6cmd of the file /goform/setIpv6. The manipulation of the argument Ipv6PriDns/Ipv6SecDns/Ipv6StaticGateway/LanIpv6Addr/LanPrefixLen/pppoeUser/pppoePass/pppoeIdleTime/pppoeRedialPeriod/Ipv6in4_PrefixLen/LocalIpv6/RemoteIpv4/LanIPv6_Prefix/LanPrefixLen/ipv6to4Relay/ipv6rdRelay/tunrd_PrefixLen/wan_UseLinkLocal/Ipv6StaticIp/Ipv6PrefixLen leads to os command injection.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops construction of commands from untrusted data containing special elements.
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 include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
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).

Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-77, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
