Summary
Vulnerability in Kenwood DNR1007XR in the JKGenService is due to lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. A local attacker can exploit this flaw to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root.
Risk Assessment
The risk for the organization is the possibility of privilege escalation by a local user, potentially leading to full device compromise.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the device firmware and restrict local access to the system to trusted users only.

Original NVD description (English source)
Kenwood DNR1007XR JKGenService Command Injection Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the JKGenService. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29066.
