Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cybersecurity landscape is fraught with vulnerabilities that can be exploited to compromise systems and leak valuable data. One such vulnerability, CVE-2025-56267, presents an alarming concern for users of the Avigilon ACM v7.10.0.20. This vulnerability is a severe CSV injection flaw located in the \/id_profiles endpoint, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code<\/a> and potentially compromise the system or leak data. This vulnerability affects all systems running this version<\/a> of the software, highlighting the need for immediate attention and mitigation.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-56267
\nSeverity: Critical (9.8 CVSS Severity Score)
\nAttack Vector: Remote
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise<\/a> or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Avigilon ACM | v7.10.0.20<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit works by injecting malicious code into a crafted Excel file which is then uploaded<\/a> to the \/id_profiles endpoint of the Avigilon ACM v7.10.0.20. Since the system does not adequately sanitize the CSV file inputs, the injected code gets executed<\/a>, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage. The high severity score of 9.8 underscores the significant impact and ease of exploit.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

POST \/id_profiles HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/vnd.ms-excel\nDATA:\nC12: =cmd|'\/C calc'!A0<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the exploit uses a standard formula injection technique to call the command line calculator application, which demonstrates the ability to execute arbitrary<\/a> commands on the system.<\/p>\n
Recommended Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
The most effective mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor-patched update. If that is not immediately possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation. These tools can help detect and block malicious payloads, mitigating the immediate risk. However, these should only be seen as temporary solutions until the vendor patch can be applied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
