CVE-2022-32516Network attack vector

Reboot loop via forged configuration POST

Published Jan 30, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Cross-site request forgery in Schneider Electric Conext ComBox all versions allows remote attackers to trigger a reboot loop via a forged POST. The web configuration interface accepts a cross-origin POST as an authorized settings operation, allowing the request to overwrite system configuration. A victim browser must submit the attacker-controlled request to the appliance; the reported consequence is configuration override and repeated reboot.
