Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Privileged file disclosure in IDC SFX2100 satellite receiver firmware results from a setuid-enabled date binary that allows local users to read root-owned files including /etc/shadow and other sensitive configuration data. A local attacker can leverage publicly available exploit techniques to gain unauthorized access to confidential system information. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, though no patch is currently available.

Classified as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management). Affects Sfx2100 Firmware. International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 satellite receiver comes with the /bin/date utility installed with the setuid bit set. This configuration grants elevated privileges to any local user who can execute the binary. A local actor is able to use the GTFObins resource to preform privileged file reads as the root user on the local file system. This allows an actor to be able to read any root read-only files, such as the /etc/shadow file or other configuration/secrets carrier files.
