Command Injection Vulnerability in Alpine iLX-507 Devices

CVE-2025-8473

What is CVE-2025-8473?

The command injection vulnerability in Alpine iLX-507 devices allows attackers to execute arbitrary code due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the UPDM_wstpCBCUpdStart function. This exploit can be executed by attackers who have physical access to the devices, as authentication is not required to initiate the attack. The risk is particularly concerning as it allows execution of code with root privileges, potentially compromising the entire system.
