Detection & IOCs extracted from sources · hover to see the quote

• → The vulnerability exists in picocom versions before 2.0; the 'send and receive file' command passes user-supplied input to /bin/sh unsafely, enabling command injection. ↗
• → Monitor for picocom processes spawning unexpected /bin/sh child processes, which may indicate exploitation of the 'send and receive file' command injection. ↗
• → The upstream fix is available at the referenced commit; systems running picocom < 2.0 should be considered vulnerable and audited for exploitation. ↗

• · This vulnerability is local in scope; exploitation requires local access to a system running a vulnerable version of picocom (before 2.0). ↗
