Descriptions

NETGEAR RAX30 libcms_cli Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR RAX30 routers. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the libcms_cli module. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied command before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-19838.

Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de inyección de comandos NETGEAR RAX30 libcms_cli. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes adyacentes a la red ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de enrutadores NETGEAR RAX30. Aunque se requiere autenticación para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, se puede omitir el mecanismo de autenticación existente. La falla específica existe dentro del módulo libcms_cli. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de un comando proporcionado por el usuario antes de usarlo para ejecutar una llamada al sistema. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto de la raíz. Fue ZDI-CAN-19838.
