Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000, RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524, RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 and RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 up to 2.17.0. It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function Scheduler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.17.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.17.1). Affected devices do not properly sanitize user-supplied input in the Scheduler functionality of the Web UI, allowing commands to be injected into the task scheduling backend. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the underlying operating system.
