2) Command injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU14301

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11229

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to command injection in Crestron Toolbox Protocol (CTP). A remote unauthenticated attacker can submit a specially crafted input and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

4) Privilege escalation

EUVDB-ID: #VU12975

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1122

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to top reads its configuration file from the current working directory, without any security check, if the HOME environment variable is unset or empty. A local attacker can exploit one of several vulnerabilities in top's config_file() function, execute top in /tmp (for example) and gain elevated privileges.
