CVE-2024-13871

Unauthenticated command execution via recovery API injection

Published Mar 12, 2025 · Updated Mar 12, 2025

Command injection in Bitdefender BOX v1 1.3.11.490 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through its recovery API. The /check_image_and_trigger_recovery endpoint fails to neutralize command syntax in attacker-controlled input before executing a device command. Exploitation requires network adjacency and access to the appliance's recovery interface, after which commands execute with device-level impact.
