CVE-2026-25070

CVE-2026-25070 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) affecting the firmware of XikeStor SKS8310-8X Network Switches in versions 1.04.B07 and prior. The flaw resides in the /goform/PingTestSet endpoint, where the destIp parameter fails to properly sanitize user input, enabling attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands. This issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), classifying it as critical due to its potential for high-impact remote exploitation.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no privileges required. By crafting a malicious request to the PingTestSet endpoint with injected commands in the destIp parameter, attackers achieve remote code execution with root privileges on the affected switch. This grants full control over the device, potentially allowing network disruption, data exfiltration, lateral movement, or persistence in compromised environments.

References point to an OpenWRT table of hardware entry for the XikeStor SKS8310-8X and an AliExpress product listing, but no vendor advisories, patches, or specific mitigation guidance are detailed in these sources. Security practitioners should isolate affected devices, monitor for anomalous traffic to the endpoint, and seek firmware updates from the vendor if available.
