MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the SMS management functionality on the OnCell G3150A-LTE gateway is both enabled and configured - this is the specific feature/configuration prerequisite named in the description and reflected by AT:P in the CVSS 4.0 vector; if SMS management is disabled, the attack surface is absent. Additionally, per PR:H the attacker must already possess high (administrative) privileges on the device, which is the primary limiting factor and means this is not a pre-authentication remote takeover. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the vector is network-reachable (AV:N). The strongest realistic limits are therefore: the non-default SMS feature must be active, and the attacker must already be authenticated at an administrative level. Fixed versions are not stated in the available sources; verify remediation against the vendor advisory for this specific product. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but conditional risk rather than a mass-exploitation emergency, and the signals are consistent in pointing to that conclusion. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N, VC/VI/VA:H) describes a network-reachable command-injection with full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on the device, but it is gated by two real constraints: PR:H means the attacker must already hold high (administrative) privileges, and AT:P indicates a specific attack requirement - here, that the SMS management functionality is enabled and configured. EPSS is 1.37% (72nd percentile), modest and roughly in line with a flaw that is serious but not trivially or widely exploited. The vuln.today decision label is 'monitor' (not act_now/emergency), and there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit reference, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. The practical read: a high-impact device-takeover bug on an industrial cellular gateway that is meaningfully blunted by requiring existing high privileges plus a non-default feature being enabled. Prioritize patching on exposed/managed OnCell gateways, but the combination of PR:H, AT:P, 'monitor' label and low-moderate EPSS argues this is a scheduled-remediation item, not a drop-everything one. Note one data caveat below regarding the linked advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already obtained administrative (high-privilege) access to a Moxa OnCell G3150A-LTE gateway that has the SMS management feature enabled submits crafted input to that feature, where insufficient input validation allows the input to be interpreted as OS commands. The injected commands execute on the device, giving the attacker full control. No public exploit code or PoC reference is provided in the available sources, and no user interaction is required (UI:N). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Authenticated OS command injection in the Moxa OnCell G3150A-LTE cellular gateway (version 1.0.0 recorded as affected) lets a remote attacker who already holds administrative privileges on the device execute arbitrary commands by abusing insufficient input validation in the SMS management feature. The attack surface only exists when SMS management is enabled and configured, and the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (7.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N) confirms high privileges are required, so this is not a pre-authentication remote takeover. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is 1.37% (72nd percentile) and the priority label is monitor, consistent with a conditional rather than mass-exploitation risk.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: neither the description, the CPE data nor the independent assessment states a fixed firmware version, and the supplied advisory link points to an MPSA page titled for the Moxa Remote Connect Suite MRC client, so the OnCell G3150A-LTE fix level must be confirmed with Moxa via https://www.moxa.com/en/support/product-support/security-advisory/mpsa-269510-cve-2026-111459-cve-2026-111460-cve-2026-111461-vulnerabilities-in-moxa-remote-connect-suite-mrc-client and https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-111461 before upgrading. The directly effective compensating control, per the stated prerequisites, is to disable SMS management on the gateway where it is not operationally required, which removes the attack surface entirely but also removes SMS-based alerting and remote SMS control; where SMS management must stay active, pair it with strict restriction of administrative access to the device (the vulnerability requires high privileges, so limiting who can authenticate materially reduces exposure) and accept that this narrows rather than eliminates the risk. Restrict management-plane reachability to trusted network segments and monitor for unexpected SMS-originated configuration or command activity; these measures reduce exposure but do not substitute for a vendor firmware fix once one is published.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected device is a Moxa industrial cellular gateway/router that processes inbound SMS messages as a management channel. The root cause class is CWE-78 (improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command), i.e. SMS-derived input is passed to an operating-system command without adequate validation, allowing injected command syntax to be executed with the privileges of the handler on the device. The CVSS 4.0 vector carries AT:P (attack requirements present), matching the stated prerequisite that SMS management must be enabled and configured; the independent assessment maps this to CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, meaning the vulnerable path is network-reachable but gated behind administrative credentials. The specific code path, the exact SMS fields abused, and whether exploitation is blind or returns output are not described in the available sources. Note also that the cited Moxa advisory (MPSA-269510) is titled for CVE-2026-111459, CVE-2026-111460 and CVE-2026-111461 in the Moxa Remote Connect Suite MRC client, which does not obviously match the OnCell G3150A-LTE product named in the description and CPE (cpe:2.3:a:moxa:oncell_g3150a-lte_series); the correct product-specific advisory should be confirmed directly with Moxa before relying on the reference.

DescriptionCVE.org
An OS command injection vulnerability exists in OnCell G3150A-LTE Series. When the SMS management functionality is enabled and configured, a remote attacker with the required privileges could exploit insufficient input validation in the SMS management functionality to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-111461 is a high-severity authenticated command injection vulnerability in the Moxa OnCell G3150A-LTE cellular gateway (version 1.0.0). It allows an attacker with existing administrative access to execute arbitrary commands via the SMS management feature, but only when that feature is enabled. Impact is limited to devices where administrators have deliberately activated SMS management, and exploitation requires valid high-privilege credentials; no active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified, and the vendor has not released a patch, so leadership should prioritize inventory and hardening of affected gateways.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable SMS management where not required; restrict administrative access to trusted networks and enforce strong authentication; segment gateways from sensitive networks; monitor for anomalous administrative activity.
