CVE-2022-27224

high

Description

An issue was discovered in Galleon NTS-6002-GPS 4.14.103-Galleon-NTS-6002.V12 4. An authenticated attacker can perform command injection as root via shell metacharacters within the Network Tools section of the web-management interface. All three networking tools are affected (Ping, Traceroute, and DNS Lookup) and their respective input fields (ping_address, trace_address, nslookup_address). NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because the affected components were never shipped in a production release (they were only present in development releases), and because no privilege boundary is crossed (an applicable "authenticated attacker" always also has the supported ability to make an SSH connection as root).
