Kenwood DMX958XR JKWifiService Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Kenwood DMX958XR JKWifiService Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kenwood DMX958XR devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the JKWifiService. 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 execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-26311.
