CVE-2025-35010 in IPn4Gii
Summary
by MITRE • 06/09/2025
Products that incorporate the Microhard BulletLTE-NA2 and IPn4Gii-NA2 are vulnerable to a post-authentication command injection issue in the AT+MNPINGTM command that can lead to privilege escalation. This is an instance of CWE-88, "Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')," and is estimated as a CVSS 7.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). This issue has not been generally fixed at the time of this CVE record's first publishing.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-35010 affects Microhard BulletLTE-NA2 and IPn4Gii-NA2 communication devices that implement the AT+MNPINGTM command interface. These industrial-grade communication modules are designed for cellular network connectivity and are commonly deployed in remote monitoring and control applications. The flaw exists within the command processing mechanism that handles the AT+MNPINGTM command, which is typically used for network diagnostics and connectivity testing. This particular vulnerability represents a critical security weakness that allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious commands into the system's processing pipeline, potentially leading to significant operational disruptions and unauthorized system access.
The technical root cause of this vulnerability aligns with CWE-88, which describes improper neutralization of argument delimiters in commands. The flaw manifests when the system fails to properly sanitize or escape input parameters passed to the AT+MNPINGTM command, allowing an attacker who has already established authentication credentials to inject additional commands. The vulnerability operates through command injection patterns where the system interprets specially crafted input as legitimate command arguments rather than data, enabling the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This particular implementation does not adequately validate or escape special characters that serve as command delimiters, creating a pathway for attackers to bypass normal command parsing and execute unintended operations.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is substantial, as it enables privilege escalation from authenticated user level to system-level access. An attacker who has gained initial access through legitimate authentication can leverage this weakness to execute commands that would normally require administrative privileges, potentially allowing full system compromise. The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high-severity risk with local access requirements, low complexity, and significant impact on confidentiality and integrity. In industrial environments where these devices are deployed for critical infrastructure monitoring, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive operational data, disruption of communication services, or even physical system compromise through command execution. The lack of a general fix at the time of CVE publication suggests that this vulnerability affects multiple device models and firmware versions, increasing the potential attack surface.
Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including network segmentation to limit access to these devices, strict access controls with multi-factor authentication, and monitoring for suspicious command execution patterns. The recommended approach involves disabling unnecessary command interfaces, implementing input validation at multiple layers, and applying firmware updates as soon as vendor patches become available. Security teams should also conduct comprehensive network scans to identify all affected devices and establish monitoring protocols to detect anomalous command execution. This vulnerability demonstrates the importance of secure coding practices and proper input validation in embedded systems, aligning with ATT&CK technique T1059.001 for command and script injection. Organizations should also consider implementing network traffic analysis to detect command injection attempts and establish incident response procedures for handling potential exploitation attempts.
