Unauthenticated root command execution via writable SNMP
Published Mar 4, 2026 · Updated Mar 4, 2026
Remote code execution in IDC SFX2100 receivers allows remote attackers to execute root commands through the SNMP service. The default read/write private community lets unauthenticated SNMP SET requests create a NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB entry that invokes /bin/sh, and an MIB walk runs it under the root-owned snmpd process. Network access to SNMP is the only gate; successful exploitation gives arbitrary operating system command execution as root.
