GHSA-Q573-WGW4-2H26

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:06 – Updated: 2022-05-24 19:06

Details

In Weidmueller Industrial WLAN devices in multiple versions an exploitable privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the iw_console functionality. A specially crafted menu selection string can cause an escape from the restricted console, resulting in system access as the root user. An attacker can send commands while authenticated as a low privilege user to trigger this vulnerability.
