Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: OS Command Injection in Billion Electric 5200W-T router. π **Consequences**: Attackers can execute illegal OS commands via the Time Setting function. π₯ **Impact**: Full device compromise possible.
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: Improper input validation. β οΈ **Flaw**: External data is not filtered for special characters or commands before constructing OS executable commands.β¦
π¦ **Product**: Billion Electric 5200W-T Wireless Router. π’ **Vendor**: Billion Electric (UK). π **Affected Version**: Firmware version **7.3.8.0** specifically mentioned. π **Scope**: Network devices.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π» **Privileges**: Arbitrary OS command execution. π **Data**: Potential full system access. π΅οΈ **Action**: Attackers can run illegal commands on the underlying OS. π **Risk**: Critical integrity loss.
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
π **Auth**: Not explicitly stated in data, but typically requires access to the Time Setting interface. βοΈ **Config**: Exploits the 'Time Setting' function.β¦
π **Public Exp**: References exist (SSD Disclosure, Full Disclosure). π **PoC**: Links provided to advisory files (pedrib/PoC). π **Status**: Information disclosed publicly in Jan 2017.β¦
π« **Workaround**: Disable or restrict access to the 'Time Setting' function. π‘οΈ **Mitigation**: Implement strict input filtering on the router's web interface. π§ **Network**: Isolate the device from untrusted networks.β¦
π₯ **Urgency**: HIGH. π¨ **Reason**: OS Command Injection is critical. π **Age**: Disclosed in 2017, but still relevant if unpatched. β‘ **Priority**: Immediate patching or mitigation required.β¦
