CVE-2023-0861Network attack vector

Authenticated elevated command execution via unsanitized device identifier

Published Feb 16, 2023 · Updated Mar 18, 2025

Command injection in affected NetModule Router Software releases allows remote authenticated users to execute elevated OS commands. The GNSS auto-alignment page passes the request-supplied device_id value directly into PHP exec when alignment is toggled. Access to the web administration interface and an authenticated account are required; injected commands run with elevated privileges.
