MeteoBridge - RCE (CVE-2025-4008)
Description
The MeteoBridge web interface let meteobridge administrator manage their weather station data collection and administer their meteobridge system through a web application written in CGI shell scripts and C.
This web interface exposes an endpoint that is vulnerable to command injection.
Remote unauthenticated attackers can gain arbitrary command execution with elevated privileges ( root ) on affected devices.
psychologyCrowdSec Analysis
CVE-2025-4008 is a critical command injection vulnerability in the MeteoBridge web interface, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on affected devices. This flaw could be exploited to fully compromise weather station systems, potentially leading to data manipulation, device takeover, or use in broader network attacks.
CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 15th of April 2026.
Insights from the CrowdSec network reveal that the attackers trying to exploit CVE-2025-4008 are composed of a fairly even mix of opportunistic and targeted actors.
