Descriptions

Ubiquiti Networks EdgeSwitch version 1.7.3 and prior suffer from an improperly neutralized element in an OS command due to lack of protection on the admin CLI, leading to code execution and privilege escalation greater than administrators themselves are allowed. An attacker with access to an admin account could escape the restricted CLI and execute arbitrary shell instructions.

EdgeSwitch, de Ubiquiti Networks, en versiones 1.7.3 y anteriores sufre de un elemento neutralizado incorrectamente en un comando del sistema operativo debido a la falta de protección de la interfaz de línea de comandos admin. Esto conduce a la ejecución de código y a un escalado de privilegios mayor del que les está permitido a los propios administradores. Un atacante que cuente con acceso a una cuenta de administrador podría escapar de la interfaz de línea de comandos restringida y ejecutar instrucciones shell arbitrarias.
