Authenticated arbitrary code execution
Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 27, 2025
Improper input validation in SEL RTAC web interfaces allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through crafted web input. SEL identifies the web management interface as the affected module but has not disclosed the handler, input field, or failing validation operation. Access requires a high-privilege authenticated account, and successful exploitation gives code execution on the controller.
