CVE-2022-43654

NETGEAR CAX30S SSO Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of NETGEAR CAX30S routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of the token parameter provided to the sso.php endpoint. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string 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-18227.

Summary
  • (es) Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de inyección de comando SSO de NETGEAR CAX30S. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes adyacentes a la red ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de enrutadores NETGEAR CAX30S. No se requiere autenticación para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla específica existe en el manejo del parámetro token proporcionado al endpoint sso.php. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de una cadena proporcionada por el usuario antes de usarla para ejecutar una llamada al sistema. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto de la raíz. Era ZDI-CAN-18227.
