Vulnerabilities
Expand / Collapse allA low privileged local attacker can perform a confusion attack on the cfgparser via a specially crafted file on an USB stick leading to code execution. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
A high privileged 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.
