CVE-2023-34420Network attack vector

Privileged command execution via crafted web API

Published Jun 26, 2023 · Updated Dec 4, 2024

OS command injection in Lenovo XClarity Administrator before 4.0 allows remote authenticated users with elevated privileges to execute commands. A specific web API passes attacker-crafted call data to an operating-system command without neutralizing command elements; Lenovo has not identified the endpoint or implementation locus. Exploitation requires a valid high-privilege LXCA account and can compromise data and interrupt the management appliance.
