Technical description

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') vulnerability allows OS Command Injection as root

This issue affects Iocharger firmware for AC model chargers before version 24120701.

Likelihood: Moderate – It might be difficult for an attacker to identify the file structure of the <redated> directory, and then modify the backup to add a new CGI script in the correct directory. Furthermore, the attacker will need an account to restore the settings backup, or convince a user with such access to upload a modified backup file.

Impact: Critical – The attacker has full control over the charging station as the root user, and can arbitrarily add, modify and deletefiles and services.
