Gestnet: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences
CVE-2025-40671 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of CRLF sequences vulnerability in Gestnet from AES Multimedia, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Gestnet versions: 1.07. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of Gestnet you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences
The product uses CRLF (carriage return line feeds) as a special element, e.g. to separate lines or records, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CRLF sequences from inputs.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Appropriately filter or quote CRLF sequences in user-controlled input.
