CVE-2025-64053 is a buffer overflow vulnerability identified in Fanvil X210 IP phone devices running firmware version 2.12.20. The flaw exists in the handling of POST requests sent to the /cgi-bin/webconfig?page=upload&action=submit endpoint, which is part of the device's web configuration interface. An attacker can craft a malicious POST request that triggers a buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the device or potentially enabling arbitrary command execution. This could allow an attacker to take control of the device remotely, execute unauthorized commands, or disrupt telephony services. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and appears to be exploitable remotely, increasing its risk profile. No official patches or fixes have been published yet, and no exploits have been observed in the wild, indicating it is a newly disclosed vulnerability. The lack of a CVSS score means severity must be inferred from the technical details: the ability to cause DoS or remote code execution without authentication suggests a critical impact on device availability and integrity. The affected device, Fanvil X210, is commonly used in enterprise VoIP deployments, making this vulnerability particularly relevant to organizations relying on these devices for communication.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-64053 could be significant, especially in sectors where reliable VoIP communication is critical, such as finance, government, healthcare, and large enterprises. Exploitation could lead to denial of service, disrupting communication channels and potentially causing operational downtime. If arbitrary command execution is achieved, attackers could pivot within the network, compromise sensitive information, or manipulate telephony infrastructure. This could result in data breaches, interception of calls, or unauthorized access to internal systems. The disruption of telephony services could also impact emergency response capabilities and customer service operations. Given the widespread use of Fanvil devices in Europe, the vulnerability poses a risk to business continuity and information security. The absence of patches increases the window of exposure, making proactive mitigation essential.

1. Implement network segmentation to isolate VoIP devices from general user networks and restrict access to the management interface. 2. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) capable of detecting and blocking malformed POST requests targeting the /cgi-bin/webconfig endpoint. 3. Enforce strict access controls and authentication mechanisms for device management interfaces, including VPN or jump hosts for remote access. 4. Monitor network traffic for unusual POST requests or spikes in traffic to the vulnerable endpoint. 5. Disable or restrict web configuration interfaces if not required for daily operations. 6. Engage with Fanvil or authorized vendors to obtain firmware updates or patches as soon as they become available. 7. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration tests focusing on VoIP infrastructure. 8. Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and signs of exploitation attempts. 9. Maintain up-to-date asset inventories to quickly identify affected devices. 10. Prepare incident response plans specifically addressing VoIP device compromise scenarios.
