Status: DeferredCritical (9.3)—Exploit
Severity9.3Critical · CVSS 4.0
Exploitation probability1.58 %higher than 75% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitAvailableProof of concept on GitHub (unverified) · Nuclei template (automated mass detection)

The device enables an unauthorized attacker to execute system commands with elevated privileges. This exploit is facilitated through the use of the 'getcommand' query within the application, allowing the attacker to gain root access.

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.

⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.
