The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-54857, carries the highest possible severity rating with a CVSS score of 9.8, and it could allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges.
The vulnerability exists in SkyBridge BASIC MB-A130 firmware versions 1.5.8 and earlier.
