CVE-2025-56124 is an OS Command Injection vulnerability identified in the Ruijie X60 PRO wireless access point devices, specifically in firmware versions V1.00 and V2.00. The vulnerability resides in the Lua script file /usr/local/lua/dev_sta/networkConnect.lua, within the module_get function that handles POST requests. An attacker can craft a malicious POST request to this endpoint, injecting arbitrary operating system commands that the device executes with the privileges of the running service. This type of vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass normal input validation and execute commands on the underlying operating system, potentially leading to full device compromise. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication, increasing its risk profile, and can be exploited remotely if the device is reachable over the network. Although no public exploits or patches are currently available, the flaw's nature suggests that once exploited, an attacker could manipulate device configurations, intercept or redirect network traffic, or use the device as a foothold for lateral movement within an organization’s network. The Ruijie X60 PRO is commonly deployed in enterprise and service provider environments, making this vulnerability particularly concerning for organizations relying on these devices for network access and connectivity. The lack of a CVSS score necessitates a severity assessment based on impact and exploitability factors.

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2025-56124 could result in significant operational disruption and security breaches. Compromise of Ruijie X60 PRO devices could allow attackers to intercept sensitive communications, manipulate network traffic, or pivot to other internal systems, leading to data breaches or service outages. Critical infrastructure sectors such as telecommunications, finance, healthcare, and government agencies using these devices may face heightened risks. The ability to execute arbitrary commands without authentication increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially in environments where these devices are exposed to untrusted networks or insufficiently segmented. Additionally, the absence of patches means organizations must rely on compensating controls, increasing the operational burden and risk exposure. The impact extends to potential reputational damage and regulatory consequences under European data protection laws if sensitive data is compromised.

To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-56124, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict network access to Ruijie X60 PRO devices by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks. 2) Disable or restrict access to the vulnerable module_get endpoint if possible, or monitor and filter POST requests targeting this endpoint for suspicious payloads. 3) Employ intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or anomaly detection tuned to detect command injection attempts against Lua scripts or unusual POST request patterns. 4) Conduct thorough inventory and asset management to identify all affected devices and prioritize their protection. 5) Engage with Ruijie Networks for firmware updates or patches and apply them promptly once available. 6) Implement strong authentication and access controls on management interfaces to reduce the attack surface. 7) Regularly audit device logs for signs of exploitation attempts and unusual command executions. 8) Consider deploying network behavior analytics to detect lateral movement originating from compromised devices. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific attack vector and device context.
