- →Exploit targets the `idt` parameter in badge_template_print.php via a UNION-based SQL injection selecting from the `version` table (SWVersion column). Look for GET requests to this path with UNION SELECT payloads in the `idt` query parameter. ↗
- →Successful exploitation returns a response body containing the strings 'Print Badge' and 'btnPrint' alongside injected version data. Monitor HTTP responses from eMerge devices for these strings combined with SQL UNION output. ↗
- →Shodan query 'http.title:"Linear eMerge"' can be used to identify internet-exposed Nortek Linear eMerge E3-Series devices that may be vulnerable. ↗
- →The attack is unauthenticated (PR:N, UI:N per CVSS). No session or credentials are required; any unauthenticated GET request to the vulnerable endpoint with a crafted `idt` value should be treated as a high-confidence attack indicator. ↗
- ·Affected firmware versions are specifically 0.32-08f, 0.32-07p, 0.32-07e, 0.32-09c, 0.32-09b, 0.32-09a, and 0.32-08e. Detection rules should be scoped to these versions where firmware fingerprinting is possible. ↗
