CVE-2025-26063 is a critical vulnerability affecting Intelbras RX1500 version 2.2.9 and RX3000 version 1.0.11 devices. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting a specially crafted payload into the ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) name field when creating a wireless network. The ESSID is typically used to identify Wi-Fi networks and is broadcasted by the device. Due to improper input validation or sanitization of the ESSID field, the attacker can embed malicious code that the device processes, leading to arbitrary code execution without requiring authentication or prior access. This vulnerability impacts the device's firmware or software components responsible for handling network creation and ESSID processing. The lack of authentication and the ability to trigger the exploit remotely via wireless network configuration makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the potential for exploitation is significant given the attack vector and the critical nature of arbitrary code execution, which could lead to full device compromise, data leakage, or pivoting to internal networks.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk, especially for those relying on Intelbras RX1500 and RX3000 devices in their network infrastructure. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to gain control over these network devices, leading to unauthorized access to internal networks, interception or manipulation of network traffic, and disruption of wireless services. This could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational data and services. Given that these devices are often deployed in small to medium enterprises, retail environments, or branch offices, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to establish persistent footholds or launch further attacks within corporate networks. The unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the threat surface, as attackers do not need credentials or physical access. Additionally, the ability to inject code via ESSID names could be exploited in public or semi-public environments where wireless networks are configured or reconfigured frequently, increasing the risk of attack in European urban centers and business districts.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately identify and inventory all Intelbras RX1500 and RX3000 devices within their networks. Since no official patches or updates are currently available, organizations should implement compensating controls such as disabling wireless network creation features where possible or restricting access to network configuration interfaces to trusted administrators only. Network segmentation should be enforced to isolate vulnerable devices from critical assets. Monitoring network traffic for unusual ESSID names or configuration changes can help detect attempted exploitation. Additionally, organizations should consider deploying wireless intrusion detection systems (WIDS) to identify malicious wireless activity. When patches become available from Intelbras, prompt testing and deployment are essential. As a longer-term measure, organizations should evaluate the security posture of their wireless infrastructure vendors and consider replacing vulnerable devices with more secure alternatives if timely patches are not provided.
