CVE-2025-7883 is a critical command injection vulnerability identified in Eluktronics Control Center version 5.23.51.41, specifically within an unspecified function of the Powershell Script Handler component located in the \AiStoneService\MyControlCenter\Command file. The vulnerability allows an attacker with local access and low privileges (PR:L) to inject arbitrary commands due to insufficient input validation or sanitization in the Powershell script handling mechanism. The exploit does not require user interaction (UI:N) and does not require elevated privileges beyond low-level local access. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a high level (VC:H, VI:H, VA:H), indicating that successful exploitation can lead to full system compromise, data leakage, or disruption of services. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.5, reflecting a high severity rating. Although the vendor was notified early, no response or patch has been provided, and the exploit details have been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The attack vector is local, meaning an attacker must have some form of local access to the affected system, such as physical access or through a compromised user account. The vulnerability does not require user interaction, which simplifies exploitation once local access is obtained. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet, but public disclosure raises the likelihood of imminent attacks. The lack of vendor response and absence of patches further exacerbate the risk. This vulnerability is particularly concerning for environments where Eluktronics Control Center is deployed on laptops or workstations, as it could be leveraged by malicious insiders or attackers who have gained local access through other means to escalate privileges or execute arbitrary commands.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-7883 can be significant, especially in sectors where Eluktronics laptops or systems running the Control Center software are used extensively, such as engineering, research, and technology firms. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized command execution, enabling attackers to manipulate system configurations, exfiltrate sensitive data, or disrupt critical operations. Given the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, organizations could face data breaches, operational downtime, and potential regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is compromised. The local attack vector limits remote exploitation but does not eliminate risk, as attackers could leverage social engineering, phishing, or physical access to gain initial foothold. The absence of vendor patches means organizations must rely on alternative mitigations, increasing operational complexity. Additionally, the public disclosure of the exploit details increases the risk of targeted attacks against European entities using affected versions. This vulnerability could also be exploited in supply chain attacks if attackers compromise devices before deployment or during maintenance.

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting local access to systems running Eluktronics Control Center 5.23.51.41 by enforcing strict physical security controls and limiting user privileges to the minimum necessary. 2. Implement application whitelisting and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor and block suspicious Powershell command executions that deviate from normal behavior. 3. Disable or restrict the use of the Eluktronics Control Center software if it is not essential, or remove the vulnerable component if possible. 4. Employ network segmentation to isolate devices running the vulnerable software from critical infrastructure to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 5. Monitor logs for unusual local command execution patterns and investigate any anomalies promptly. 6. Engage with Eluktronics support channels persistently to obtain patches or official guidance, and track vulnerability advisories for updates. 7. Consider deploying host-based intrusion prevention systems (HIPS) to detect and block command injection attempts at the OS level. 8. Educate users about the risks of local privilege escalation and enforce strong authentication and endpoint security policies to reduce the likelihood of initial local access by attackers.
