Assigner: Hitachi Energy

Description
The “Diagnostics Tools” page of the web-based configuration utility does not properly validate user-controlled input, allowing an authenticated user with high privileges to inject commands into the command shell of the TropOS 4th Gen device. The injected commands can be exploited to execute several set-uid (SUID) applications to ultimately gain root access to the TropOS device.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the "Diagnostics Tools" page of the web-based configuration utility of the TropOS 4th Gen device. It does not properly validate user-controlled input, which allows an authenticated user with high privileges to inject commands into the device's command shell. Through this injection, the attacker can execute several set-uid (SUID) applications, ultimately gaining root access to the device.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow an authenticated high-privilege user to execute arbitrary commands with root access on the TropOS device. This can lead to full control over the device, potentially compromising its integrity, availability, and confidentiality, and allowing unauthorized actions or disruptions.
