Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

→The application exposes a hidden/obscured command shell-like feature accessible without any authentication; monitor for unauthenticated HTTP requests targeting shell or command execution endpoints on Meteocontrol WEB'log devices. ↗
→All administrative and configuration pages are reachable without authentication; alert on unauthenticated access to admin/configuration URLs on WEB'log web interfaces. ↗
→No CSRF token is generated per page or per function; monitor for cross-origin state-changing requests (POST/GET) to WEB'log configuration endpoints lacking CSRF tokens. ↗
→Sensitive information is stored and transmitted in clear text; inspect network traffic to/from WEB'log devices for plaintext credentials or configuration data. ↗

·No known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities at time of advisory publication; low-skill exploitation is still considered feasible. ↗
·The command shell feature is described as 'hidden/obscured', meaning it may not appear in standard application menus; passive network monitoring or active endpoint enumeration may be required to detect its presence. ↗
