Full Report
The web interface of RUGGEDCOM ROX II devices contain multiple Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker with a legitimate, highly privileged account on the web interface to get privileged code execution in the underlying OS of the affected products. Siemens has released new versions for the affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions.
Analysis Summary
# Vulnerability: Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security Flaws in RUGGEDCOM ROX II Web Interface
## CVE Details
- CVE ID: CVE-2025-32469, CVE-2025-33024, CVE-2025-33025, CVE-2025-40591
- CVSS Score: CVSS v3.1: 9.9 (Critical) / CVSS v4.0: 9.4 (Critical)
- CWE: CWE-602: Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security Vulnerability
## Affected Systems
- Products: RUGGEDCOM ROX II family (RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000, RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510)
- Versions: All versions prior to V2.16.5, across the listed product lines.
- Configurations: Affects the web interface functionality utilized by highly privileged accounts.
## Vulnerability Description
Multiple "Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security" vulnerabilities exist because input sanitation is missing on the server side for specific tools accessed via the web interface. This allows an authenticated attacker, who already possesses a legitimate, highly privileged account on the web interface, to perform command injection attacks.
Specific vulnerabilities detailed:
* **CVE-2025-32469 (Ping Tool):** Command injection via the web interface's 'ping' tool allowing execution of arbitrary code as root.
* **CVE-2025-33024 (Traceroute Tool):** Command injection via the web interface's 'traceroute' tool allowing execution of arbitrary code as root.
* **CVE-2025-33025 (Traceroute Tool):** A second command injection flaw in the 'traceroute' tool allowing execution of arbitrary code as root.
* **CVE-2025-40591 (Log Viewers Tool):** Command injection via the 'Log Viewers' tool allowing execution of the 'tail' command as root, potentially leading to disclosure of all files in the filesystem.
## Exploitation
- Status: Not explicitly stated as exploited in the wild, but PoC is implied by the severity and nature of command injection flaws.
- Complexity: Low (Requires a legitimate, highly privileged account).
- Attack Vector: Network (AV:N). Exploitation requires prior authentication.
## Impact
- Confidentiality: High (Arbitrary code execution can lead to full system compromise and file disclosure via CVE-2025-40591).
- Integrity: High (Ability to execute arbitrary code with root privileges).
- Availability: High (Ability to execute arbitrary code with root privileges).
## Remediation
### Patches
- Update affected products to **Version V2.16.5 or later**.
### Workarounds
- No specific workarounds were detailed in the provided context snippet, but standard practice for authenticated RCE vulnerabilities is strict access control, network segmentation, and leveraging patches immediately.
## Detection
- Detection methods focus on monitoring outbound network connections or unusual system calls originating from the web server process or associated command execution contexts, especially related to the 'ping', 'traceroute', and 'Log Viewers' functionalities on vulnerable versions.
- Indicators of Compromise: Unusual root-level process execution initiated from the web server context.
