Impact

Eaton’s Tripp Lite Series PADM firmware contains improper input validation in the session management interface, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject and run arbitrary shell commands within a restricted environment. This weakness qualifies as CWE‑78, an input validation flaw that results in remote code execution from the perspective of the authenticated user.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Eaton PADM firmware used in Tripp Lite Series backup devices. No specific firmware revision or version is listed in the advisory, so all installations of this firmware are potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.3 indicates high severity. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low but nonzero exploitation probability. The lack of a KEV listing does not reduce the inherent risk; exploitation requires administrative credentials to access the session management interface. An attacker who can authenticate as an administrator can execute commands that may compromise device integrity and the systems it powers.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the PADM firmware to the latest release from Eaton to eliminate the input validation flaw.
  • Limit administrative access to the session management interface, ensuring only trusted personnel can log in.
  • Enable and regularly review device logs to detect any unauthorized command execution attempts.
