Authenticated command execution via undisclosed input handling
Published Mar 17, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
OS command injection in SonicWall SRA and SMA 100 firmware allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary operating-system commands. SonicWall identifies improper neutralization of special elements but does not disclose the affected parameter, handler, or command-construction path. A valid appliance session is required; successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied commands with the vulnerable service's privileges and can compromise appliance data and operation.
