Cisco Aironet: command injection (CVE-2024-20418) #shorts #breaking

CVE

This CVE relates to a command injection vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unified Industrial Wireless Software for Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul Access Points. This security flaw is not yet publicly released and is considered a zero-day exploit, meaning it has not been patched yet. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of input data, allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to send specially crafted HTTP requests to the interface. Successful exploitation would enable the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root-level access on the operating system of the affected Cisco Aironet devices. This poses a significant risk to all users leveraging these Cisco wireless access points.
