CVE-2018-10697
The Moxa AWK 3121 provides ping functionality so that an administrator can execute ICMP calls to check if the network is working correctly.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.71%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An issue was discovered on Moxa AWK-3121 1.14 devices. The Moxa AWK 3121 provides ping functionality so that an administrator can execute ICMP calls to check if the network is working correctly. However, the same functionality allows an attacker to execute commands on the device. The POST parameter "srvName" is susceptible to this injection. By crafting a packet that contains shell metacharacters, it is possible for an attacker to execute the attack.
