Overview
CVE-2025-60738 describes a critical security vulnerability affecting Ilevia EVE X1 Server. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected server. The flaw resides within the ping.php component and stems from insufficient filtering of IP parameters. Specifically, versions of the firmware up to and including v4.7.18.0.eden, and logic versions up to and including v6.00 – 2025_07_21 are vulnerable. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to systems using the Ilevia EVE X1 Server.
Technical Details
The ping.php component, likely intended for network diagnostic purposes, fails to properly sanitize input provided through IP parameters. This lack of input validation allows an attacker to inject malicious code into the system command executed by the ping.php script. By crafting a specific request containing injected commands within the IP parameter, an attacker can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server process. This includes potentially gaining full control of the system, accessing sensitive data, or launching further attacks.
CVSS Analysis
Currently, a CVSS score is not available (N/A) for CVE-2025-60738. However, based on the description and the potential for remote code execution, this vulnerability is highly likely to be classified as Critical with a CVSS score of 9.0 or higher. The remote attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) all contribute to this assessment. Monitor official vulnerability databases and security advisories for updates regarding the official CVSS score.
Possible Impact
The exploitation of CVE-2025-60738 can have severe consequences:
- Complete System Compromise: Attackers can gain complete control of the Ilevia EVE X1 Server.
- Data Breach: Sensitive data stored on the server could be accessed and stolen.
- Service Disruption: The server could be rendered unavailable, leading to business disruption.
- Lateral Movement: A compromised server can be used as a launching point to attack other systems on the network.
- Malware Installation: Attackers can install malware or ransomware on the server.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
The most effective way to address CVE-2025-60738 is to update the Ilevia EVE X1 Server firmware and logic to a patched version that addresses the vulnerability. Contact Ilevia support for the latest available updates and instructions.
- Identify Affected Systems: Determine which Ilevia EVE X1 Servers in your environment are running vulnerable versions of the firmware (v4.7.18.0.eden and before) and logic (v6.00 – 2025_07_21 and before).
- Apply the Patch: Obtain the latest firmware and logic updates from Ilevia and apply them to the affected servers. Follow the vendor’s instructions carefully during the update process.
- Network Segmentation: If patching is not immediately possible, consider isolating the affected servers behind a firewall to limit network access and reduce the attack surface.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Implement a WAF with rules that can detect and block malicious requests targeting the
ping.phpcomponent. - Input Validation: If you have the ability to modify the
ping.phpscript (though this is generally not recommended without vendor guidance), implement strict input validation on the IP parameters to prevent command injection. However, patching is the preferred solution. - Monitor for Suspicious Activity: Continuously monitor server logs and network traffic for any signs of exploitation attempts.
Important: Applying the official patch is the recommended and most effective way to mitigate this vulnerability. Do not rely solely on workarounds as a long-term solution.
