CVE-2023-3570Network attack vector

Administrative shell access via crafted HTTP DELETE

Published Aug 8, 2023 · Updated Oct 15, 2024

OS command injection in Phoenix Contact WP 6xxx web panels before 4.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to gain full device access. Phoenix Contact identifies the trigger only as a specific HTTP DELETE request and does not disclose the endpoint, parameter, or command-construction code. Low-privilege web access is required; exploitation grants an administrative shell and access to device files, credentials, communities, and firmware-update control.
