CVE-2023-25911Network attack vector

Authenticated operating-system command execution

Published Jun 11, 2023 · Updated Jan 9, 2025

OS command injection in Danfoss AK-EM 100 before 2.2.0.12 allows remote authenticated users to execute operating-system commands. The web application processes attacker-controlled parameters as operating-system commands, but the affected page, parameter names, and command-construction path remain undisclosed. Valid application credentials and network reachability are required; successful exploitation permits device takeover and pivoting into the attached internal network.
