Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the frontends device importer function where OpenSSL operations are performed without proper input sanitization. A high-privileged remote attacker can inject arbitrary commands through this function to achieve code execution with full system privileges. The vulnerability requires high privilege access but results in complete system compromise.

Affected products

  • Helmholz myREX24V2 firmware < 2.21.0
  • Helmholz myREX24V2.virtual firmware < 2.21.0
