What is CVE-2021-29003?

Certain Genexis PLATINUM 4410 devices are susceptible to remote command execution due to improper handling of shell metacharacters in the sys_config_valid.xgi endpoint. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a specific URI that manipulates the device's command shell, allowing unauthorized execution of commands such as starting a telnet daemon. This flaw poses a significant risk of unauthorized access, making it essential for device owners to apply the necessary patches to protect their systems from exploitation.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
