CVE-2024-7578Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unchecked cmd parameter

Published Aug 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 7, 2024

Improper authorization in Alien Technology ALR-F800 19.10.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary CLI commands. The /var/www/cmd.php endpoint accepts the cmd parameter from an unauthenticated POST request and executes it as a CLI instruction without authorization. Network reachability to the GateScape web interface is sufficient to change network settings or reset web and SSH credentials.
