CVE-2025-67038: Lantronix EDS5000 Code Injection Vulnerability
What it is
Lantronix EDS5000 contains a code injection vulnerability that could allow attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands into the username parameter. Injected commands are executed with root privileges.
- Vendor
- Lantronix
- Product

What CISA requires
Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.
Forensic triage
No
What to do now
- Find every instance of EDS5000 you run, including the forgotten ones, and check its version against the vendor advisory.
- Apply the vendor's fix or mitigation, before June 26, 2026 if you are bound by CISA's deadline, sooner if it faces the internet.
- Assume it was tried against you already: look for signs of exploitation from the date it was added, not from the day you patched.
- Until every instance is patched, block the attack at the edge: a WAF in blocking mode stops OS command injection payloads, including Shellshock.

Block it at the edge while you patch
The Dome's WAF runs the OWASP Core Rule Set in blocking mode and stops OS command injection payloads, including Shellshock before they reach your application.
