CVE-2024-22063
📋 TL;DR
ZTE ZENIC ONE R58 products contain a command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This enables message tampering, malicious code injection, and potential attacks on connected devices. Organizations using these ZTE network management products are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- ZTE ZENIC ONE R58
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full system compromise allowing attacker to pivot to connected network devices, deploy ransomware, exfiltrate sensitive network configuration data, or disrupt critical network operations.
Likely Case
Unauthorized command execution leading to data manipulation, service disruption, or deployment of backdoors for persistent access.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to network segmentation, strong authentication controls, and monitoring preventing successful exploitation.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires authenticated access but command injection is typically straightforward once authenticated
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
