CVE-2023-51584Network attack vector

Remote code execution via exposed shutdown method

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Exposed dangerous method in USBCommEx in Voltronic Power ViewPower 1.04-21353 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The USBCommEx component exposes its shutdown method to remote invocation even though that method can execute code in the current user's context. Exploitation is unauthenticated but completes only when an administrator triggers a shutdown operation, after which arbitrary code runs with the current user's privileges.
