Summary

CVE-2025-8937 is a low-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Totolink N350R 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 18% 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.

A vulnerability has been identified in the TOTOLINK N350R router running firmware version 1.2.3-B20130826. The issue resides in an unspecified portion of the /boafrm/formSysCmd endpoint and stems from improper handling of user-supplied input, resulting in command injection as classified under CWE-74 and CWE-77. The flaw is remotely reachable and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1, reflecting the need for an authenticated low-privileged account but no user interaction.

An attacker who can authenticate to the device can supply crafted parameters to the affected form handler, causing arbitrary operating-system commands to execute on the router. Successful exploitation grants limited control over the device, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data within the scope of the compromised process. Public proof-of-concept material has already been released, confirming that the attack can be carried out over the network.

The associated EPSS score remains low and unchanged at 0.0172, indicating no significant increase in observed exploitation interest since disclosure. The referenced materials consist of exploit documentation hosted on GitHub and corresponding Vuldb entries; no vendor advisory or patch information is included among them.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection attacks in software design.
