Technical details
A command injection vulnerability exists in the Python configuration function of InHand Networks IR912 and IR915 industrial routers (V1.0.0.r20042 and earlier). The flaw is categorized as CWE-77, where improper neutralization of special elements in user-provided input allows for the execution of arbitrary system commands. Because the vulnerable component runs with elevated privileges, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can execute commands as the root user. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity and requires no user interaction. Users are advised to refer to the InHand Networks security advisory for patching information.
