Unauthenticated command execution via improper input neutralization
Published Oct 12, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Injection in Moxa MXview 3.x through 3.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute unauthorized commands via network requests. Moxa and CISA have not published the affected request parameter, handler, or downstream component; the record states only that special elements are not neutralized before downstream processing. No authentication or user interaction is required, and exploitation can disable the software or read and modify otherwise inaccessible data.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
