CVE-2024-41711

Physical command execution via unsanitized argument injection

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

Argument injection in Mitel 6800, 6900, and 6900w SIP Phones and 6970 units through R6.4.0.HF1 allows arbitrary command execution. The affected firmware passes a physically supplied parameter into a system command without neutralizing argument delimiters, allowing attacker-controlled options to alter execution. Exploitation requires unauthenticated physical access and runs commands within the phone's system context.
