CVE-2025-7145 is a high-severity OS Command Injection vulnerability identified in TeamT5's ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware product, specifically version 3.6.0. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in operating system commands (CWE-78), allowing remote attackers who have intermediate privileges on the product platform to inject arbitrary OS commands. Exploitation of this flaw enables attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying server hosting the ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware software. This can lead to full administrative control over the remote host, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require that the attacker already have some level of platform privileges, which suggests that initial access or credential compromise is a prerequisite. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting a high severity due to network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability was published on July 7, 2025, and is assigned by the Taiwan Computer Emergency Response Team (twcert). The lack of a patch increases the urgency for organizations using this product to implement compensating controls and monitor for suspicious activity.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for those relying on ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware for endpoint protection and ransomware mitigation. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to gain administrative access to critical servers, potentially leading to data breaches, ransomware deployment, or disruption of business operations. Given the nature of anti-ransomware software, compromise of this product could ironically facilitate ransomware attacks by disabling protective mechanisms or deploying malicious payloads. The high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability means sensitive corporate data and operational continuity are at risk. Organizations in sectors with high ransomware targeting, such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, face elevated risks. Additionally, the requirement for intermediate privileges means that attackers who have already breached perimeter defenses or insider threats could escalate their control significantly. The absence of a patch means that European entities must rely on detection and mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.

1. Restrict and monitor access to the ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware management interfaces to minimize the risk of attackers obtaining intermediate privileges. 2. Implement strict network segmentation and access controls to limit lateral movement within the network. 3. Employ application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect anomalous command execution patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 4. Conduct regular privilege audits and enforce least privilege principles for all users and service accounts interacting with the ThreatSonar platform. 5. Monitor logs and alerts from ThreatSonar and underlying operating systems for unusual command execution or privilege escalations. 6. Engage with TeamT5 for updates and patches, and apply them promptly once available. 7. Consider deploying compensating controls such as web application firewalls or intrusion prevention systems with custom rules to detect and block command injection attempts targeting this product. 8. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability and the importance of rapid incident response to suspicious activity related to ThreatSonar.
