CVE-2024-3799Network attack vector

Remote shell command execution via unsanitized POST body

Published Jul 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 28, 2024

OS command injection in Phoniebox 2.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute shell commands through a crafted POST body. The htdocs/inc.setWifi.php endpoint passes the untrusted body parameter to a shell command without neutralizing shell metacharacters. Exploitation requires a user to visit an attacker-controlled website and a resulting browser request to reach a Phoniebox on the local network.
