Verizon · Verizon 5G Home Lvskihp Outdoorunit · CVE-2022-28369
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Verizon 5G Home LVSKIHP InDoorUnit (IDU) version 3.4.66.162
**Description**
The issue concerns the failure to validate user-provided URLs within the `crtcmode` function's `enable ssh` sub-operation of the `crtcrpc` JSON listener, located at `/lib/functions/wnc jsonsh/crtcmode.sh`. A remote attacker on the local network can exploit this by providing a malicious URL, and the data from that URL is written to `/usr/sbin/dropbear` and then executed as root.
**Recommendations**
For version 3.4.66.162, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `enable ssh` sub-operation of the `crtcmode` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `crtcrpc` JSON listener to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `crtcmode.sh` script in the `/lib/functions/wnc jsonsh/` directory until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
