Elevated command execution via unsanitized JSON-RPC responses
Published Jun 11, 2025 · Updated Jul 24, 2025
OS command injection in Weidmüller IE-SR-2TX router firmware allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. The u-link client places attacker-controlled fields from WWH server JSON-RPC responses into shell commands without sanitization. Exploitation requires a man-in-the-middle position created by an insecure client proxy configuration; successful commands run with elevated device privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
