CVE-2025-34035 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability affecting EnGenius EnShare IoT Gigabit Cloud Service versions 1.4.11 and earlier. The vulnerability resides in the usbinteract.cgi script, which improperly sanitizes user input passed to the 'path' parameter. This lack of input validation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands. Because the commands are executed with root privileges, exploitation results in full system compromise. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command) and CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 10.0, indicating a critical severity with network attack vector, no required authentication, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploits are currently known, the ease of exploitation and the severity of impact make this a highly critical threat. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands remotely, potentially leading to complete takeover of affected devices and any connected networks or systems. Given that EnGenius EnShare is an IoT cloud service used to manage network devices, compromised systems could be leveraged for lateral movement, data exfiltration, or as a foothold for further attacks within enterprise or service provider environments.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for those relying on EnGenius EnShare IoT Gigabit Cloud Service for network device management. Successful exploitation can lead to full system compromise, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. This can result in data breaches, disruption of network services, unauthorized access to sensitive information, and potential use of compromised devices as launch points for broader attacks. Critical infrastructure providers, enterprises with extensive IoT deployments, and managed service providers in Europe could face operational disruptions and reputational damage. The vulnerability's unauthenticated remote exploitation vector increases the risk of widespread attacks, particularly in environments where EnGenius devices are deployed without adequate network segmentation or monitoring. Additionally, the root-level access gained by attackers could allow persistent backdoors, undermining long-term security and compliance with European data protection regulations such as GDPR.

1. Immediate deployment of patches or updates from EnGenius once available is paramount. Since no patch links are currently provided, organizations should monitor vendor advisories closely. 2. In the interim, restrict network access to the EnShare Cloud Service interface by implementing strict firewall rules limiting access to trusted IP addresses only. 3. Employ network segmentation to isolate IoT devices and their management interfaces from critical enterprise networks to reduce lateral movement risk. 4. Implement intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics capable of detecting unusual command injection patterns or abnormal shell command executions. 5. Conduct thorough audits of existing EnGenius devices and cloud service configurations to identify exposure and ensure minimal attack surface. 6. Enforce strong monitoring and logging of all interactions with the usbinteract.cgi endpoint to detect potential exploitation attempts. 7. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid incident response readiness. 8. Consider temporary disabling or limiting use of the vulnerable usbinteract.cgi functionality if feasible until patches are applied.
