DescriptionCVE.org

An issue was discovered in Lantronix EDS5000 2.1.0.0R3. An authenticated attacker can inject OS commands into the "name" parameter when deleting SSL credentials through the management interface. Injected commands are executed with root privileges.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated OS command injection in Lantronix EDS5000 firmware 2.1.0.0R3 allows an admin-level attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands as root by injecting metacharacters into the 'name' parameter of the SSL credential deletion workflow in the device's web management interface. CISA ICS advisory ICSA-26-069-02 confirms the flaw across three hardware variants (EDS5008, EDS5016, EDS5032), signaling elevated concern for OT/ICS environments where these serial-to-Ethernet device servers connect legacy industrial equipment. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS at 0.02% reflects low current exploitation probability.

Technical ContextAI

The Lantronix EDS5000 series are serial-to-Ethernet device servers deployed in industrial and OT environments, running embedded Linux firmware. The affected firmware version 2.1.0.0R3 applies to the EDS5008 (8-port), EDS5016 (16-port), and EDS5032 (32-port) variants, confirmed by CPE strings cpe:2.3:o:lantronix:eds5008_firmware:2.1.0.0r3, cpe:2.3:o:lantronix:eds5016_firmware:2.1.0.0r3, and cpe:2.3:o:lantronix:eds5032_firmware:2.1.0.0r3. The root cause is CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), manifesting as classic OS command injection: the 'name' parameter supplied during SSL credential deletion is passed unsanitized to a shell invocation, allowing shell metacharacters (semicolons, pipes, backticks) to break out of the intended command context and inject arbitrary OS commands. Because the management process runs as root, injected commands inherit full root privileges on the embedded system.

RemediationAI

Consult the Lantronix security vulnerability library at https://www.lantronix.com/technical-support/security-updates/vulnerability-disclosure-policy/vulnerability-library/ for patched firmware - no specific fix version is confirmed in the available reference data, and the exact remediation version must be obtained directly from Lantronix. Per CISA advisory ICSA-26-069-02 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-069-02), asset owners should apply vendor-released firmware updates as the primary fix. Until patched, restrict management interface access to a dedicated, firewalled management VLAN accessible only from trusted administrator workstations; disabling remote management entirely is the strongest compensating control if operationally feasible. Enforce strong, unique credentials for all management accounts and rotate any credentials that may have been shared or exposed. Avoid exposing the management interface to the internet or untrusted OT segments.
