Impact
The affected Lantronix devices, namely EMG7500, EMG8500, SLC8000, SLC9000, and SLB882, expose a server‑side request forgery through the WebSSH/WebTelnet interface. By manipulating the rooturl parameter, an unauthenticated attacker can cause the device to open Telnet connections to arbitrary hosts. This allows the adversary to discover or communicate with internal network endpoints that would otherwise be unreachable, potentially facilitating further compromise.
Affected Systems
Lantronix EMG7500, EMG8500 before firmware v9.7.0.1, SLC8000 before firmware v9.7.0.3, SLC9000 before firmware v9.7.0.2, and all firmware revisions of SLB882 contain this SSRF flaw.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.7 indicates a high severity. While the EPSS score indicates a very low but non-zero exploitation probability of <1%, the lack of a KEV listing suggests no public exploits are yet reported, but the vulnerability can be exploited over the network with no authentication. The attack vector is inferred to be remote, via the publicly reachable web interface.
