Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the /index.php/attached_devices_tab/do_upload endpoint where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being passed to OS-level commands. The vulnerability requires valid operator-level credentials to exploit but allows unauthenticated privilege escalation to root. An authenticated operator can craft a malicious upload request containing shell metacharacters that are executed with the highest system privileges. The affected versions are ICE2-* and ICE3-* firmware prior to 1.7.4, and a patch is available in version 1.7.4 or later.
