HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk35th percentile - higher than 35% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX devices allows an authenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary commands during feature key installation. Insufficient input sanitization leads to remote code execution with root privileges.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can gain full control over the device, compromising the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the industrial network.
Recommendation
Immediately update RUGGEDCOM ROX software to version V2.17.1 or later. Restrict management interface access to trusted users only.
Other vulnerabilities in RUGGEDCOM ROX
See all- CVE-2025-40949Critical
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX allows an authenticated remote attacker to inject commands into the task scheduler via the Web UI. Lack of proper input sanitization enables arbitrary command execution with root privileges.
- CVE-2025-40948Medium
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX devices allows an authenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the OS filesystem with root privileges. The issue stems from improper input validation in the web server's JSON-RPC interface.
Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.17.1). Affected devices do not properly sanitize user-supplied input during the feature key installation process. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary commands, resulting in remote code execution with root privileges on the underlying operating system.
