Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in OS Commands Affects Advantech Devices

CVE-2024-50368

Summary

An OS command injection vulnerability has been identified in multiple Advantech EKI devices, resulting from inadequate sanitization of parameters in the 'basic_htm' API. This oversight allows attackers to manipulate OS-level commands through specially crafted input. Affected devices include EKI-6333AC-2G, EKI-6333AC-2GD, and EKI-6333AC-1GPO, specifically versions less than or equal to 1.6.3 for the first two and less than or equal to 1.2.1 for the latter. Exploitation of this vulnerability enables malicious actors to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to unauthorized access and control over the vulnerable devices.
