CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA critical OS command injection vulnerability exists in the advanced-rule parser of ConfigServer Security & Firewall, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root due to inadequate validation of rule data from configured allow/deny feeds. This issue impacts both the original ConfigServer versions and the WebPros-maintained fork, with a fix provided in version 16.30. Organizations using affected versions, especially those managing firewall configurations, should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
OS command injection in the advanced-rule parser of ConfigServer Security & Firewall allows a remote attacker who controls a configured allow/deny feed to execute arbitrary commands as root, due to insufficient validation of feed-supplied rule data. The vulnerability affects versions of the software originally distributed by ConfigServer, as well as versions of the WebPros-maintained fork that contain the vulnerable code. WebPros has addressed the vulnerability in version 16.30. Other forks or independently maintained versions of ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) may also be affected and should be evaluated independently.
