Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An issue was discovered in Galleon NTS-6002-GPS 4.14.103-Galleon-NTS-6002.V12 4 related to command injection by an authenticated attacker. The attacker can exploit shell metacharacters within the Network Tools section of the web-management interface, affecting all three networking tools: Ping, Traceroute, and DNS Lookup.

Risk Assessment

The risk to the organization involves the potential for unauthorized command execution as root, which could lead to serious security breaches. However, the supplier disputes this vulnerability, claiming it only affects development releases.

Recommendation

It is recommended to monitor and update devices to the latest software versions to minimize risks associated with potential vulnerabilities. Additionally, consider restricting access to the management interface to trusted users.

Original NVD description (English source)

An issue was discovered in Galleon NTS-6002-GPS 4.14.103-Galleon-NTS-6002.V12 4. An authenticated attacker can perform command injection as root via shell metacharacters within the Network Tools section of the web-management interface. All three networking tools are affected (Ping, Traceroute, and DNS Lookup) and their respective input fields (ping_address, trace_address, nslookup_address). NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the affected components were never shipped in a production release (they were only present in development releases), and because no privilege boundary is crossed (an applicable "authenticated attacker" always also has the supported ability to make an SSH connection as root).
