CVE-2025-1370Public exploit

Root command execution via unsanitized USB mount point

Published Feb 17, 2025 · Updated Feb 18, 2025

OS command injection in eScan Antivirus 7.0.32 for Linux allows local users to execute commands as root through a crafted USB label. The epsdaemon service passes an unsanitized USB mount point through sprintf into a command string executed by system for autoscanusb.sh. Exploitation requires the AutoScan USB path and a crafted USB device; the service may not run on Debian-based systems when libidn11 is absent.
