CVE-2023-7311
BYTEVALUE Intelligent Flow Control Router Command Injection
Description

BYTEVALUE Intelligent Flow Control Router contains a command injection vulnerability via the /goform/webRead/open endpoint. The `path` parameter is not properly validated and is echoed into a shell context, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands on the device. Successful exploitation can lead to writing backdoors, privilege escalation on the host, and full compromise of the router and its management functions. VulnCheck has observed this vulnerability being targeted by the Rondo botnet.

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 4.0 CRITICAL 83251b91-4cc7-4094-a5c7-464a1b83ea10
CVSS 4.0 CRITICAL [email protected]
Solution
Address command injection by validating the 'path' parameter and sanitizing shell metacharacters.
  • Validate the 'path' parameter input thoroughly.
  • Sanitize user input for shell metacharacters.
  • Limit shell access to necessary commands only.
  • Apply vendor security patches or updates.
