Exploit status

Proof of concept available

A public proof of concept or detection signature exists. Exploit knowledge is out there; don't delay patching.

Evidence

  • Exploit-DB entry ×1

Noroxi does not host or link to exploit code. Metasploit module names and Nuclei template ids are shown (names, not code); Exploit-DB entries and PoC repositories are given as counts only.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.

    Weakness class (CWE)

    CWE-78 · Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

    CVSS vector

    AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C

    nvd-primary

    Root cause

    User input is inserted as text into a shell command. The shell may interpret special characters in the input as part of the command.
