CVE-2025-64056 is a security vulnerability identified in the Fanvil x210 V2 IP phone model running firmware version 2.12.20. The flaw is a file upload vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker with access to the local network to upload arbitrary files to the device's filesystem. This vulnerability arises because the device does not properly validate or restrict file uploads, enabling attackers to store malicious files that could be used to execute arbitrary code or alter device behavior. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, any attacker on the same local network segment can exploit it, increasing the risk in environments where network segmentation is weak or absent. The lack of a CVSS score and absence of available patches or mitigations at the time of publication indicate that this is a newly disclosed vulnerability. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the potential impact includes device compromise, persistent backdoors, or lateral movement within an organization's network. Fanvil x210 V2 devices are commonly used in enterprise telephony systems, making this vulnerability particularly relevant for organizations relying on VoIP infrastructure. The technical details do not specify affected firmware versions beyond 2.12.20, but organizations should assume all devices running this version are vulnerable until patched. The vulnerability's exploitation could undermine confidentiality, integrity, and availability of telephony services and potentially broader network resources if leveraged for further attacks.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to telephony infrastructure security. Compromise of Fanvil x210 V2 devices could lead to unauthorized interception or manipulation of voice communications, disruption of telephony services, and potential footholds for attackers to pivot into corporate networks. Given the prevalence of VoIP in enterprise and government communications, exploitation could impact business continuity, data confidentiality, and regulatory compliance, especially under GDPR mandates concerning data protection. The requirement for local network access means that organizations with poorly segmented networks or exposed internal telephony VLANs are at higher risk. Additionally, the ability to upload arbitrary files could allow attackers to implant persistent malware or backdoors, increasing the difficulty of detection and remediation. The lack of authentication barriers exacerbates the threat, as attackers do not need valid credentials to exploit the vulnerability. Overall, the impact extends beyond the device itself to the broader network and organizational security posture.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately assess their deployment of Fanvil x210 V2 devices and identify those running firmware version 2.12.20. In the absence of an official patch, organizations should implement strict network segmentation to isolate IP phones from general user networks and restrict access to trusted management hosts only. Deploy access control lists (ACLs) on switches and routers to limit local network access to the telephony VLAN. Monitor network traffic for unusual file upload activity or unexpected communications from IP phones. Consider disabling any unnecessary file upload or management features on the devices. Employ network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) with signatures or anomaly detection tuned for VoIP device traffic. Engage with Fanvil support or vendors for firmware updates or advisories. Finally, establish incident response procedures to quickly isolate and remediate compromised devices if exploitation is suspected.
