Description
A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW (All versions < V6.0). Affected devices do not properly validate or sanitize the filename of firmware files uploaded to the system. This could allow an authenticated attacker with specific privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the underlying database.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW allows an authenticated attacker with privileged access to upload firmware files whose filenames are not properly validated or sanitized. As a result, maliciously crafted filenames can be used to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the underlying database, enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete data stored by the system.

Affected Systems

Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW devices running any version earlier than V6.0 are affected. The flaw exists in all earlier firmware releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 classifies this as high severity. Although EPSS data is unavailable, the lack of a KEV listing suggests no confirmed widespread exploitation yet. Attackers must first authenticate with an account that has the necessary privileges to upload firmware; once authenticated, they can craft a filename to inject SQL. Due to the missing privilege restrictions, the potential impact spans confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply a Siemens RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW firmware upgrade to version V6.0 or later.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately available, restrict firmware upload functionality or enforce strict filename validation rules to reject maliciously crafted names.
  • Audit and limit privileged accounts that can perform firmware uploads, and monitor database logs for suspicious SQL activity.
