CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface that utilizes a modified uhttpd server, where unsanitized HTTP Basic Authentication usernames are passed directly into shell commands. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers with network access to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges by crafting malicious usernames. Organizations using affected devices should prioritize patching this critical vulnerability to prevent potential exploitation and unauthorized access.
Original NVD Description
The web-based management interface uses a modified uhttpd server with CGI shell scripts. The HTTP Basic Authentication username, taken directly from the Authorization header without sanitization, is inserted into a shell command string executed via the system() function. By submitting a specially crafted username containing shell metacharacters, an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the device can escape the command context and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
