CVE-2025-59105

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to the device to desolder the flash memory, modify it, and reinstall it due to missing encryption. This enables reading and modifying essential files such as /etc/passwd, stored certificates, cryptographic keys, and PINs, leading to SSH root access on the Linux-based K7 model. On the Windows CE based K5 model, the Access Manager password can additionally be read in plain text from the stored SQLite database.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of full device compromise by someone with physical access, potentially leading to data confidentiality breaches, credential theft, and unauthorized access to infrastructure.

Recommendation

It is recommended to implement flash memory encryption and ensure physical security of devices against unauthorized access. Also consider firmware updates if the vendor provides patches.

Original NVD description (English source)

With physical access to the device and enough time an attacker can desolder the flash memory, modify it and then reinstall it because of missing encryption. Thus, essential files, such as "/etc/passwd", as well as stored certificates, cryptographic keys, stored PINs and so on can be modified and read, in order to gain SSH root access on the Linux-based K7 model. On the Windows CE based K5 model, the password for the Access Manager can additionally be read in plain text from the stored SQLite database.
