Description
A highly authenticated attacker can alter the config generator injecting a payload into future created configurations. The device is not correctly checking this configuration value before passing it to an system execute leading to code execution. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Impact

A highly authenticated attacker can alter the configuration generator by injecting a payload, which the device then passes to the operating system’s execute command without proper validation. This flaw allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the device, potentially resulting in total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

Helmholz REX100, Helmholz REX200/250, MB connect line mbNET.mini, MB connect line mbNET/mbNET.rokey. The affected firmware versions noted in the CPEs are Helmholz REX100 3.0.2, REX200/250 8.4.4, mbNET.mini 3.0.2, and mbNET 8.4.4.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 marks the issue as high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is inferred to require authenticated access to the device, as the description refers to a 'highly authenticated attacker.' Once authenticated, the attacker can modify the configuration generator, leading to system command execution and full compromise of the affected device.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the vendor’s release notes for a firmware update that includes the configuration validation fix and upgrade the device to that version as soon as it is available.
  • Restrict the configuration generator’s access to only the minimum set of users required and disable remote configuration capabilities if they are not necessary.
  • Ensure that any user‑supplied configuration values are validated or sanitized before they are passed to system execute calls to prevent unintended code execution.
