CVE-2025-25067: Myscada Mypro RCE Vulnerability

CVE-2025-25067 Overview

CVE-2025-25067 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability affecting mySCADA myPRO Manager, a widely deployed SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) management platform used in industrial control system (ICS) environments. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on affected systems without authentication.

The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands (CWE-78), enabling attackers to inject malicious commands through network-accessible interfaces. Given the critical role SCADA systems play in industrial environments including manufacturing, utilities, and critical infrastructure, exploitation of this vulnerability could result in severe operational disruptions, safety hazards, and potential cascading effects on interconnected systems.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers can execute arbitrary OS commands on affected mySCADA myPRO Manager installations, potentially gaining full system control over critical industrial infrastructure without requiring authentication.

Affected Products

• mySCADA myPRO Manager (all versions prior to patched release)
• Industrial control systems utilizing mySCADA myPRO for SCADA management
• Environments with network-accessible mySCADA myPRO Manager installations

Technical Details for CVE-2025-25067

Vulnerability Analysis

This OS command injection vulnerability exists within the mySCADA myPRO Manager application, which is designed to centrally manage SCADA infrastructure. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands through the network interface.

The attack requires no user interaction and can be launched from the network without any privileges, making it highly exploitable in environments where mySCADA myPRO Manager is exposed to untrusted networks. The vulnerability affects all three pillars of security—confidentiality, integrity, and availability—with high impact across each dimension.

SCADA systems are particularly sensitive targets due to their role in controlling physical processes in industrial environments. Successful exploitation could enable attackers to manipulate industrial processes, exfiltrate sensitive operational data, deploy ransomware, or establish persistent access for future attacks.

Root Cause

The root cause of CVE-2025-25067 is improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command, classified under CWE-78. The application fails to properly sanitize or validate user-supplied input before incorporating it into operating system command constructs. This allows attackers to break out of the intended command context and inject additional commands that execute with the privileges of the mySCADA myPRO Manager service.

Specifically, the vulnerability arises when the application constructs OS commands using untrusted input without adequate filtering of shell metacharacters such as semicolons (;), pipes (|), ampersands (&), backticks, and command substitution sequences.

Attack Vector

The attack vector for CVE-2025-25067 is network-based, meaning attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely without physical access to the target system. The exploitation path involves:

1. Network Access: The attacker identifies a network-accessible mySCADA myPRO Manager instance
2. Command Injection: Malicious input containing OS command injection payloads is sent to vulnerable endpoints
3. Command Execution: The injected commands execute on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the myPRO Manager process
4. System Compromise: Attackers can establish persistence, move laterally, or directly manipulate industrial systems

The vulnerability requires no authentication and no user interaction, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation. In ICS environments where SCADA systems may be exposed due to operational requirements or misconfigurations, this vulnerability presents an immediate and severe risk.

For detailed technical information and remediation guidance, refer to the CISA ICS Advisory ICSA-25-044-16.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-25067

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual process spawning from the mySCADA myPRO Manager service, particularly shell processes (cmd.exe, powershell.exe, /bin/sh, /bin/bash)
• Network traffic to mySCADA myPRO Manager containing common command injection patterns or shell metacharacters
• Unexpected outbound connections from systems hosting myPRO Manager to external IP addresses
• Creation of unauthorized files, accounts, or scheduled tasks on myPRO Manager hosts

Detection Strategies

• Deploy network intrusion detection signatures to identify command injection attempts in traffic destined for mySCADA myPRO Manager services
• Enable process auditing on myPRO Manager hosts to detect anomalous child process creation
• Implement application-level logging and monitor for suspicious request patterns containing shell metacharacters
• Utilize endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify post-exploitation activity

Monitoring Recommendations

• Establish baseline network behavior for mySCADA myPRO Manager systems and alert on deviations
• Monitor authentication logs and access patterns to SCADA management interfaces
• Review system logs on myPRO Manager hosts for evidence of command execution anomalies
• Implement segmentation monitoring to detect lateral movement attempts from compromised ICS systems

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-25067

Immediate Actions Required

• Identify all mySCADA myPRO Manager installations within your environment and assess their network exposure
• Isolate affected systems from untrusted networks immediately until patches can be applied
• Implement strict network segmentation between ICS/SCADA networks and enterprise/external networks
• Review access logs for any evidence of exploitation attempts prior to remediation

Patch Information

mySCADA has released security updates to address CVE-2025-25067. Organizations should immediately download and apply the latest version of myPRO Manager from the official mySCADA PRO Manager Downloads page. Contact mySCADA directly for specific version guidance and support during the remediation process.

CISA has published detailed advisory information in ICS Advisory ICSA-25-044-16 which should be consulted for comprehensive remediation guidance.

Workarounds

• Restrict network access to mySCADA myPRO Manager to trusted IP addresses only using firewall rules
• Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy with command injection filtering rules in front of myPRO Manager
• Disable any non-essential network services or interfaces on myPRO Manager hosts
• Implement application whitelisting on myPRO Manager hosts to prevent unauthorized command execution

# Example firewall configuration to restrict access to myPRO Manager
# Restrict access to trusted management network only
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s 10.0.100.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

# Log blocked connection attempts for monitoring
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j LOG --log-prefix "myPRO-BLOCKED: "
