Technical details

An improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) exists in the 'ugw-logstop' CGI method of the MBS Universal Gateway (UGW) web GUI. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed to the method, which is used to manage logging processes. A remote attacker with low-level user privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted network request to terminate arbitrary processes on the underlying operating system. This can lead to a significant denial-of-service condition or the disabling of security-critical services. The issue is resolved in firmware version V6_0_0_7.

Affected products

  • MBS GmbH Universal Gateway (UGW) A-Series Firmware < V6_0_0_7
