CVE-2025-10265 is a high-severity OS Command Injection vulnerability identified in certain models of the Digiever DS-1200 Network Video Recorder (NVR) devices. This vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of special elements used in operating system commands (CWE-78), allowing an authenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary OS commands and execute them on the affected device. The vulnerability requires low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), but does require some level of privileges (PR:L), meaning the attacker must be authenticated with limited privileges on the device. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates no network scope change (S: N) and no attack surface change (SA: N), but the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high (VC:H, VI:H, VA:H). This means successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the device, including unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption of service. The affected product, Digiever DS-1200, is an NVR device commonly used for video surveillance and security monitoring, which makes it a critical component in physical security infrastructure. No public exploits have been reported yet, and no patches are currently linked, indicating that organizations using these devices should prioritize mitigation and monitoring. The vulnerability was published on September 12, 2025, and assigned by the Taiwan Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (twcert).

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for those relying on Digiever DS-1200 NVRs for critical security and surveillance operations. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the device, potentially leading to unauthorized access to video feeds, tampering with recorded footage, or disrupting surveillance capabilities. This could undermine physical security, facilitate further network intrusion, or enable espionage. Given the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, organizations could face operational disruptions, data breaches, and compliance violations under GDPR if personal data is compromised. Critical infrastructure sectors such as transportation, government facilities, and large enterprises using these NVRs are particularly at risk. The requirement for authentication limits exploitation to insiders or attackers who have obtained credentials, but the low complexity and lack of user interaction make it feasible for skilled attackers to leverage stolen or default credentials. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as attackers often develop exploits rapidly after disclosure.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the Digiever DS-1200 devices to trusted networks and users only, employing network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure. 2. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including changing default credentials and implementing multi-factor authentication if supported. 3. Monitor device logs and network traffic for unusual command execution patterns or unauthorized access attempts. 4. Since no official patches are currently available, consider deploying compensating controls such as application-layer firewalls or intrusion detection/prevention systems that can detect and block command injection attempts targeting these devices. 5. Engage with the vendor for updates on patches or firmware upgrades addressing this vulnerability and plan for timely deployment once available. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on NVR devices to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 7. Educate staff managing these devices about the risks and signs of compromise to improve detection and response.
