What is CVE-2023-46306?

CVE-2023-46306 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 22 Oct 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The web administration interface in NetModule Router Software (NRSW) 4.6 before 4.6.0.106 and 4.8 before 4.8.0.101 executes an OS command constructed with unsanitized user input: shell metacharacters in the /admin/gnssAutoAlign.php device_id parameter. This occurs because another thread can be started before the trap that triggers the cleanup function. A successful exploit could allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. NOTE: this is different from CVE-2023-0861 and CVE-2023-0862, which were fixed in version 4.6.0.105.

Weakness: CWE-78
