A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.14.1), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.14.1). The command line interface of affected devices insufficiently restrict file read and write operations for low privileged users. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to escalate privileges and gain root access to the device.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Target vulnerability is in the CLI of RUGGEDCOM ROX devices — monitor for authenticated low-privileged users performing unexpected file read/write operations via the command line interface that could indicate privilege escalation attempts toward root access.
  • No known public exploits exist for this vulnerability as of advisory publication; prioritize detection of anomalous authenticated CLI sessions on affected RUGGEDCOM ROX devices rather than signature-based exploit detection.
  • ·All RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000, RX1400, RX1500, RX1501, RX1510, RX1511, RX1512, RX1524, RX1536, and RX5000 devices running firmware versions prior to V2.14.1 are affected; patched version is V2.14.1 or later.
  • ·The vulnerability requires only low privileges (authenticated user) and is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity (CVSS v3 8.8, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), meaning any authenticated CLI user on a network-accessible device is a potential attacker.
