CVE-2025-27494
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 · uneditedA vulnerability has been identified in SiPass integrated AC5102 (ACC-G2) (All versions < V6.4.9), SiPass integrated ACC-AP (All versions < V6.4.9). Affected devices improperly sanitize input for the pubkey endpoint of the REST API. This could allow an authenticated remote administrator to escalate privileges by injecting arbitrary commands that are executed with root privileges.
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 · high confidenceThis is a command injection vulnerability in the REST API's pubkey endpoint of SiPass integrated physical access control systems. An authenticated remote administrator can inject arbitrary OS commands through unsanitized input, which are then executed with root privileges, allowing full system compromise.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the SiPass device modelAccess the system admin interface or check the physical device label to confirm the model is either AC5102 (acc G2) or ACC-AP.Affected if The device is a SiPass Integrated AC5102 or ACC-AP model.
-
Check the installed firmware versionNavigate to the system administration panel, typically found under System > Software or Device Information in the SiPass management interface. Locate the firmware version field.Affected if The firmware version is earlier than 6.4.9.
-
Verify REST API accessibilityAttempt to reach the REST API endpoint by accessing a URL such as https://<device-ip>/api/v1/ or similar API base path using a web browser or curl command.Affected if The REST API is accessible over the network.
-
Confirm pubkey endpoint availabilitySend a GET request to the pubkey endpoint, typically at a path like /api/v1/pubkey or /rest/pubkey, using curl or similar tool: curl -k https://<device-ip>/api/v1/pubkeyAffected if The pubkey endpoint responds (returns any HTTP status other than 404).
A user is affected if they have a SiPass Integrated AC5102 or ACC-AP device running firmware version lower than 6.4.9 with the REST API and pubkey endpoint exposed to the network.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped6.4.9
Upgrade SiPass integrated AC5102 and ACC-AP devices to firmware version V6.4.9 or later to obtain the patched REST API. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict administrative access to the REST API to trusted IP addresses only.
V6.4.9
- Obtain the firmware version 6.4.9 from the official Siemens cert-portal.siemens.com or authorized distribution channel
- Access the administrative interface of the affected Sipass Integrated AC5102 (ACC-G2) or ACC-AP device
- Navigate to the firmware upgrade or system maintenance section
- Upload and apply firmware version 6.4.9 following the vendor's documented upgrade procedure
- After upgrade completes, verify the firmware version is now V6.4.9 or higher
- Confirm the REST API pubkey endpoint now properly validates input
