Filesystem disclosure via unsanitized Log Viewers input
Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 10, 2025
Command injection in Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX II before 2.16.5 allows remote authenticated users to read any filesystem file. The Log Viewers web tool omits server-side input sanitization, letting crafted input run the tail command with root privileges. A legitimate highly privileged web-interface account is required; the reported impact is file disclosure, not file changes or service interruption.
