Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in the Console WebUI of Waterfall WF-500 TX and RX Hosts. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command within the web management interface. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests to the WebUI, leading to arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the web service. This allows for complete takeover of the affected host. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 7.9.1.0 R2502171040.
