Lg · Webos · CVE-2023-6318
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
LG WebOS versions 5 through 7
LG WebOS versions 5.5.0 through 6.3.3-442
LG WebOS version 7.3.1-43
**Description**
A command injection issue exists in the `processAnalyticsReport()` method of the `com.webos.service.cloudupload` service. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user by sending specially crafted requests. The vulnerability stems from a failure to neutralize special elements used in operating system commands. Additionally, command injection flaws exist in the `getAudioMetadata()` method of the `com.webos.service.attachedstoragemanager` service and the `tv/setVlanStaticAddress` service of `com.webos.service.connectionmanager`. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands, either as the root user or as the `dbus` user, through crafted requests. A vulnerability also exists in the `secondscreen.gateway` service related to bypassing the authorization mechanism by modifying variable settings, potentially allowing a remote attacker to create a privileged user account.
**Recommendations**
For webOS versions prior to 5.5.0, apply the necessary updates to address the vulnerability.
For webOS version 5.5.0 through 6.3.3-442, apply the necessary updates to address the vulnerability.
For webOS version 7.3.1-43, apply the necessary updates to address the vulnerability.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
