KEVCRITICAL 9.3EPSS 19.3%

Does this matter?

Known to be exploited in the wild (CISA KEV, CISA remediation deadline 26 June 2026). Treat as an emergency change: patch or isolate now, then hunt for prior compromise.

Description

An issue was discovered in Lantronix EDS5000 2.1.0.0R3. The HTTP RPC module executes a shell command to write logs when user's authentication fails. The username is directly concatenated with the command without any sanitization. This allow attackers to inject arbitrary OS commands into the username parameter. Injected commands are executed with root privileges.
