CVE-2022-32665Network attack vector

Remote privilege escalation via Boa command injection

Published Jan 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Command injection in Boa on MediaTek EN7528 and EN7580 Linux SDKs before TLB7.3.258.100-P1-1555 allows remote attackers to gain elevated privileges. MediaTek identifies improper input validation in Boa but does not disclose the affected request field, command construction path, or shell invocation. No authentication, existing execution privilege, or user interaction is required, and injected commands gain elevated privileges remotely.
