Weather Station Woes: Meteobridge Vulnerability Sparks Cyber Storm Warning
CISA warns of a Meteobridge vulnerability exploited in attacks. This flaw, CVE-2025-4008, is a command injection bug in the web interface. Meteobridge devices, ideally not internet-exposed, have become targets due to misconfiguration. CISA urges federal agencies to fix this within three weeks as part of the Binding Operational Directive.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Meteobridge decided to step out of the weather station and into the storm of cybersecurity drama! Who knew a gadget meant for forecasting rain would instead forecast a downpour of cyber threats? Sounds like someone should have kept the umbrella handy!
Key Points:
- Meteobridge vulnerability CVE-2025-4008 has been exploited and added to CISA’s KEV catalog.
- Meteobridge devices, meant to connect weather stations to networks, have been misconfigured and exposed to the internet.
- The vulnerability allows command injection through a CGI shell script without proper input sanitization.
- Smartbedded released a patch in May 2023, but the exploitation has been confirmed by CISA.
- CISA also flagged additional vulnerabilities, including a Samsung zero-day and older exploits in Jenkins, Juniper ScreenOS, and GNU Bash OS.
