CVE-2025-34515: CWE-250 Execution with Unnecessary Privileges in Ilevia Srl. EVE X1 Server
Ilevia EVE X1 Server firmware versions ≤ 4.7.18.0.eden contain an execution with unnecessary privileges vulnerability in sync_project.sh that allows an attacker to escalate privileges to root. Ilevia has declined to service this vulnerability, and recommends that customers not expose port 8080 to the internet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-34515 is a critical security vulnerability classified under CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges) affecting the Ilevia Srl. EVE X1 Server firmware versions up to 4.7.18.0.eden. The vulnerability resides in the sync_project.sh script, which executes with excessive privileges, allowing an attacker to escalate privileges to root without requiring authentication or user interaction. The attack vector is network-based, targeting the server's port 8080, which is commonly used for web or management interfaces. The vulnerability's CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) indicates that it can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and results in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Despite the severity, Ilevia has declined to issue a patch, advising customers to avoid exposing port 8080 externally as a mitigation. This leaves organizations reliant on this product vulnerable to potential privilege escalation attacks that could lead to full system compromise. The lack of known exploits in the wild suggests the vulnerability is newly disclosed, but the critical nature demands immediate attention. The vulnerability affects all firmware versions up to the specified release, indicating a broad attack surface for affected deployments.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of full system compromise, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, manipulation, or disruption of services. Given the root privilege escalation, attackers could deploy malware, exfiltrate sensitive information, or disrupt critical operations. Industries relying on EVE X1 Server for infrastructure management, industrial control, or enterprise services may face operational downtime and reputational damage. The absence of a patch increases exposure, especially if port 8080 is accessible externally or insufficiently segmented internally. This could also facilitate lateral movement within networks, amplifying the impact. Regulatory implications under GDPR may arise if personal data is compromised. The critical severity and ease of exploitation make this vulnerability a priority for European entities using the affected product.
Mitigation Recommendations
Since Ilevia has declined to patch this vulnerability, European organizations should implement strict network controls to mitigate risk. Specifically, block or restrict access to port 8080 at network perimeters and internal firewalls, allowing only trusted management networks to connect. Employ network segmentation to isolate EVE X1 Servers from general user and internet-facing networks. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity targeting port 8080 or attempts to execute sync_project.sh. Implement host-based intrusion detection and integrity monitoring to detect unauthorized privilege escalations. Where possible, replace or upgrade affected hardware to alternative solutions without this vulnerability. Conduct regular audits of exposed services and ensure minimal privileges are assigned to processes and scripts. Additionally, establish incident response plans tailored to potential exploitation scenarios. Engage with Ilevia for any future updates or advisories and consider vendor alternatives if risk tolerance is low.
