DescriptionCVE.org

Insecure Permission vulnerability in MBS-Solutions X-Serie Gateway firmware V6_00_05 allows the low-privileged service user to execute /usr/bin/tcpdump as root without a password. By leveraging the tcpdump -z option, an authenticated attacker can achieve arbitrary command execution.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation on MBS-Solutions X-Serie Gateway firmware V6_00_05 allows an authenticated low-privileged service user to gain full root access on the device. The firmware grants passwordless sudo execution of /usr/bin/tcpdump as root; by supplying the -z post-rotate flag, the attacker triggers execution of an arbitrary command with root privileges, achieving complete system compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires valid credentials for the low-privileged 'service' user account on the MBS-Solutions X-Serie Gateway running firmware V6_00_05 - the sudo misconfiguration granting passwordless root execution of /usr/bin/tcpdump must be present as shipped in this firmware version. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a low-privilege, network-accessible attack yielding full system impact with low attack complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: conduct an immediate inventory of all MBS-Solutions X-Serie Gateway devices running firmware V6_00_05 in your environment and document all configured service accounts with local system access; review audit logs for any unusual sudo or tcpdump execution activity. …
