CVE-2025-14707 identifies a critical command injection vulnerability in the Shiguangwu sgwbox N3 device, version 2.0.25. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /usr/sbin/http_eshell_server executable, which is part of the device's DOCKER feature. By manipulating the 'params' argument passed to this component, an attacker can inject and execute arbitrary system commands remotely without any authentication or user interaction. This flaw allows complete compromise of the affected device, potentially enabling attackers to take full control, disrupt operations, or pivot to other network resources. The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed to the vendor, who has not responded or provided a patch, and a public exploit has been released, increasing the likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 reflects the vulnerability's critical nature, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected product, Shiguangwu sgwbox N3, is used in environments leveraging containerization, which may amplify the impact if compromised. The lack of vendor response and patch availability necessitates immediate mitigation efforts by users and administrators.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-14707 is severe. Successful exploitation can lead to full system compromise, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or lateral movement within corporate networks. Organizations using the sgwbox N3 in critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, or containerized environments face heightened risks of operational downtime and data breaches. The vulnerability's remote, unauthenticated nature means attackers can exploit it without insider access, increasing exposure. The public availability of an exploit further elevates the threat, potentially leading to widespread attacks. This can result in significant financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties under European data protection laws such as GDPR. Additionally, compromised devices could be leveraged in broader cyber campaigns targeting European entities, amplifying the threat landscape.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict network access to the vulnerable /usr/sbin/http_eshell_server service by applying firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted management networks only. Disable the DOCKER feature or the http_eshell_server component if feasible to eliminate the attack surface. Monitor network traffic and system logs for unusual command execution patterns or unexpected connections indicative of exploitation attempts. Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures targeting this vulnerability or related exploit activity. Conduct thorough asset inventories to identify all instances of sgwbox N3 devices and prioritize their protection. Engage with vendors or third-party security providers for potential custom patches or mitigations. Finally, prepare incident response plans to rapidly address any detected exploitation.
