Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVE-2025-34042

High
9.4/10

Summary

An authenticated command injection vulnerability exists in the Beward N100 IP Camera firmware version M2.1.6.04C014 via the ServerName and TimeZone parameters in the servetest CGI page. An attacker with access to the web interface can inject arbitrary system commands into these parameters, which are unsafely embedded into backend system calls without proper input sanitization. Successful exploitation results in remote code execution with root privileges. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-12-02 UTC.

CWE-78 - OS Command Injection

The OS command injection weakness (also known as shell injection) is a vulnerability which enables an attacker to run arbitrary OS commands on a server. This is done by modifying the intended downstream OS command and injecting arbitrary commands, enabling the execution of unauthorized OS commands. This has the potential to fully compromise the application along with all of its data, and, if the compromised process does not follow the principle of least privileges, it may compromise other parts of the hosting infrastructure as well. This weakness is listed as number ten in the 'CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses'.
