CVE-2024-44610Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Root command execution via crafted update filename

Published Oct 1, 2024 · Updated Oct 2, 2024

Command injection in PCAN-Ethernet Gateway FD DR before 1.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands as root. The processing.php update handler executes shell metacharacters from an uploaded package filename, while the sudo-enabled /home/peak/updater calls system() on its filename argument. Valid web-interface credentials and LAN reachability are required; successful exploitation starts a root bind shell and grants full appliance control.
