DescriptionCVE.org
A command injection vulnerability exists in the /check_image_and_trigger_recovery API endpoint of Bitdefender Box 1 (firmware version 1.3.11.490). This flaw allows an unauthenticated, network-adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device, potentially leading to full remote code execution (RCE).
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2024-13871 presents critical security risk, a command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 9.4. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.

What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
OS command injection occurs when an application passes unsanitized user input directly into system shell commands.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
