CVE-2025-14707 is a critical remote command injection vulnerability found in Shiguangwu sgwbox N3 version 2.0.25. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the /usr/sbin/http_eshell_server binary, which is part of the DOCKER feature of the device. By manipulating the 'params' argument passed to this component, an attacker can inject arbitrary shell commands that the system executes with the privileges of the http_eshell_server process. The attack vector is network-based, requiring no authentication or user interaction, making exploitation straightforward for remote attackers. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) reflects the high severity, with complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability possible. The vendor was notified early but has not issued any patches or advisories, and no official remediation is currently available. Public exploit code has been released, increasing the likelihood of imminent attacks. The affected device is typically used in embedded or IoT contexts, potentially within industrial or network infrastructure environments. The lack of vendor response and patch availability necessitates immediate defensive measures by users. Given the nature of the vulnerability, attackers could gain full control over affected devices, leading to data breaches, service disruption, or use of the device as a pivot point for further network compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-14707 is significant. Compromise of sgwbox N3 devices could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of critical services, and potential lateral movement within corporate or industrial networks. Organizations relying on these devices for network management, industrial control, or IoT deployments may experience operational downtime or data integrity issues. The ability to execute arbitrary commands remotely without authentication increases the risk of ransomware deployment, espionage, or sabotage. Given the public availability of exploit code, attackers may rapidly weaponize this vulnerability, targeting sectors such as manufacturing, energy, telecommunications, and government infrastructure. The absence of vendor patches complicates remediation, potentially prolonging exposure. This vulnerability could also undermine trust in supply chains that incorporate affected devices, leading to broader economic and reputational damage.

Since no official patches are available, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, isolate sgwbox N3 devices from untrusted networks by enforcing strict network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to the vulnerable service. Disable or restrict the DOCKER feature or the http_eshell_server component if possible, to remove the attack surface. Employ intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor for anomalous command injection patterns or suspicious network traffic targeting the device. Regularly audit device configurations and logs for signs of compromise. Where feasible, replace affected devices with alternative products from vendors with active security support. Engage with Shiguangwu or third-party security researchers for potential unofficial patches or workarounds. Finally, develop incident response plans specific to this vulnerability to rapidly contain and remediate any exploitation attempts.
