CVE-2021-34602Network attack vector

Root command execution via unneutralized web inputs

Published Apr 27, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Command injection in Bender Charge Controllers on affected 5.x branches allows remote authenticated users to execute shell commands as root. The web interface passes shell metacharacters entered in unspecified input fields to a command-execution context without adequate neutralization. Valid web-interface credentials and network access are required; successful exploitation grants root-level command execution over controller data and functions.
