CVE-2025-66644: Array Networks ArrayOS AG High-Severity Vulnerability
Severity: High | CVSS 3.1: 7.2 | Published: 2025-12-05 | KEV Added: 2025-12-08
What is CVE-2025-66644?
Array Networks ArrayOS AG before 9.4.5.9 allows command injection, as exploited in the wild in August through December 2025.
Technical Analysis
Weakness Classification
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-78 — OS Command Injection. The application passes untrusted input to an operating system shell command, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with the application's privileges.
Attack Vector Breakdown
- Attack Vector: Network
- Attack Complexity: Low
- Privileges Required: High
- User Interaction: None
- Scope: Unchanged
- Confidentiality: High
- Integrity: High
- Availability: High
Impact Analysis
This vulnerability is exploitable over the network, meaning any system reachable via the internet or internal network is potentially at risk without physical access. The attack complexity is low, meaning exploitation does not depend on specialized conditions or race windows. Successful exploitation can result in full confidentiality breach (complete data disclosure), complete integrity compromise (data modification or code execution), total availability loss (denial of service). The application passes untrusted input to an operating system shell command, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with the application's privileges.
Exploitation Probability (EPSS): 2.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (84th percentile). While the base probability may appear low, inclusion in CISA KEV confirms real-world exploitation is already occurring.
Exploit Availability
Public exploit code or proof-of-concept is available for CVE-2025-66644. This significantly increases the risk of exploitation, as attackers can use or adapt existing exploit code rather than developing their own. A public exploit reference has been identified. Organizations should treat this as an urgent patching priority.
Is CVE-2025-66644 being exploited?
Yes. CVE-2025-66644 is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, restricted to CVEs with confirmed active exploitation in the wild. CISA added this vulnerability on 2025-12-08. Inclusion in KEV triggers the patching mandate under BOD 22-01 for U.S. federal civilian agencies, with a remediation deadline of 2025-12-29. Additionally, public exploit code is available, which lowers the barrier for attackers.
How to fix CVE-2025-66644
Apply the security update issued by Array Networks for ArrayOS AG. If an immediate patch is not possible, consult the vendor advisory for mitigation guidance, restrict network exposure of the affected service, and monitor logs for indicators of exploitation. CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog requires U.S. federal agencies to remediate this vulnerability by the due date shown below under Binding Operational Directive 22-01. Private organizations should treat KEV entries as priority-one patches because active exploitation has been confirmed in the wild.
