## Technical details

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Autel MaxiCharger Single firmware (up to V1.03.51) due to improper handling of requests in a service listening on TCP port 9002. An unauthenticated attacker can send a HTTP POST request to the '/test' endpoint containing JSON data with a URL pointing to a malicious archive. The device's service will download the archive, extract its contents, and execute a script named 'install.sh' with root privileges. This allows for full system compromise without requiring valid credentials or user interaction. The vulnerability is tracked as CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code).
