CVE-2022-34869Network attack vector

Authenticated OS command execution via hidden Telnet command

Published Sep 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Hidden functionality in Allied Telesis K.K. CentreCOM AR260S V2 before 3.3.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands. The Telnet function exposes an undocumented command that executes attacker-supplied commands in the underlying operating system. Exploitation requires Telnet to be enabled despite its default-disabled maintenance-only configuration and grants control at the operating-system command level.
