Official Description
Cato Networks’ Socket versions prior to 25 contain a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker with access to the Socket web interface (UI) to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the root user on the Socket’s internal system.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-14213 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
