Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Cellinx NVT Web Server version 5.0.0.014b.test
Description
The issue allows a remote user to run commands as root via
SetFileContent.cgi because authentication is performed on the client side. This means that the authentication checks are done on the client's machine rather than on the server, which can be bypassed or manipulated by an attacker.Recommendations
For Cellinx NVT Web Server version 5.0.0.014b.test, consider disabling the
SetFileContent.cgi script until a proper server-side authentication mechanism is implemented to prevent unauthorized access. Restrict access to the SetFileContent.cgi endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
