Description
An OS command injection vulnerability exists in MiniDVBLinux version 5.4 and earlier. The system’s web-based management interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to operating system commands. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands as the root user, potentially compromising the entire device. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-04-10 UTC.

AI Analysis

Impact

An OS command injection flaw in MiniDVBLinux allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to supply unsanitized input that is passed directly to the system shell. The flaw results in execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges, enabling full compromise of the device, including configuration changes, backdoor installation, or service disruption.

Affected Systems

MiniDVBLinux devices running version 5.4 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability resides in the publicly accessible web‑based management interface of all affected installations, regardless of network placement. No specific vendor folder other than MiniDVBLinux.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 9.3 and an EPSS score of 5 %. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker can exploit the vulnerability from any network point that can reach the management interface without authentication. Because the vulnerability is already public and has been observed in the wild, the risk is significant, though the relatively low EPSS score indicates that exploitation may not be widespread. The issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the device firmware to a version newer than 5.4, or apply the vendor’s patch if available.
  • Restrict the web management interface to a trusted internal subnet or VPN, and block all external access unless necessary.
  • Enable logging and monitoring of shell command execution, and set up alerts for unexpected root activity.
