Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Synway SMG Gateway Management Software up to 20250204. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file 9-12ping.php. The manipulation of the argument retry leads to command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A command injection vulnerability exists in Synway SMG Gateway Management Software (versions up to 20250204) in the 9-12ping.php file. The 'retry' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary OS commands remotely.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'retry' parameter in 9-12ping.php. Use allowlist validation or parameterized inputs to prevent command injection. Consider applying vendor patches if available.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Synway SMG Gateway Management Software installation
    Locate the software on the system or check running web services on common ports (typically 80/443/8080). Look for processes named 'SMG' or 'Synway' or check the web server document root for Synway-specific directories.
    Affected if The software is installed and accessible on the network
  2. Determine the software version
    Check the version of Synway SMG Gateway Management Software. This may be visible in the web interface login page, in the software About section, or in version files within the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is 20250204 or any earlier version (versions up to and including 20250204 are affected)
  3. Locate the vulnerable PHP file
    Search for the file 9-12ping.php in the web application's document root, typically found in paths like /admin/, /management/, or the root web directory of the Synway management interface.
    Affected if The file 9-12ping.php exists in the web application directory
  4. Verify web access to the ping functionality
    Attempt to access the 9-12ping.php script via HTTP/HTTPS (e.g., http://[target]/9-12ping.php or similar path under the Synway management interface). Check if the page loads and accepts parameters.
    Affected if The ping functionality is accessible via the web interface and accepts user input through the 'retry' parameter
  5. Confirm command injection vector exists
    Review the application's response when the 'retry' parameter receives special characters or observe if the parameter is passed to system shell functions without sanitization. This typically requires code review or controlled testing.
    Affected if The 'retry' parameter is processed without proper input sanitization and can inject OS commands

If Synway SMG Gateway Management Software version 20250204 or earlier is installed, the 9-12ping.php file exists, and the web interface is accessible, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-1448.
