CVE-2022-42484Network attack vector

Privileged command execution via unsanitized log search

Published Jan 30, 2023 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

OS command injection in FreshTomato 2022.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via logs/view.cgi. The wo_viewlog function inserts the insufficiently filtered find parameter into a grep command string that web_pipecmd passes to popen; the same firmware flaw affects Siretta QUARTZ-GOLD G5.0.1.5-210720-141020. Administrative access to the log viewer is required, after which injected commands execute in the router firmware context.
