CVE-2025-24345Network attack vector

Hosts-file manipulation via malformed HTTP input

Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025

Improper input validation in ctrlX OS - Device Admin allows remote authenticated users to alter the hosts file via crafted HTTP requests. The web application's Hosts functionality accepts syntactically invalid host-entry input and writes it into the device's hosts file rather than rejecting the request. A low-privileged account with permission to use Hosts is sufficient on versions 1.20.0 through 1.20.7 and 2.6.0 through 2.6.8.
