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 | Requires network reachability to the affected Digi device's WEB ADMINISTRATION INTERFACE, and per the CVSS vector (AV:A) the attacker must be on an ADJACENT/local network segment rather than exploiting across the open Internet. No authentication and no user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), so a single crafted HTTP POST to the exposed admin web server is sufficient against a default-reachable interface. Primary LIMITING factors: (1) the admin web server must be enabled and reachable - Digi's own mitigation is to disable the web server when not actively configuring the device, which eliminates the attack surface; (2) adjacent-network positioning is required, so segmenting management interfaces onto isolated VLANs/management networks substantially reduces real-world exposure. |
| Impact | This is a serious but not maximally-exposed flaw. The CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 (CRITICAL) is driven by unauthenticated exploitation (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), low complexity (AC:L), and full triad compromise of both the vulnerable and subsequent systems (VC/VI/VA:H, SC/SI/SA:H) resulting in root-level OS command execution (CWE-78). The single most important mitigating signal is the attack vector: the vendor-supplied vector specifies AV:A (Adjacent), meaning exploitation requires the attacker to be on the same local/adjacent network segment as the device's web administration interface, NOT arbitrary Internet-wide remote access. NOTE A DISCREPANCY: the prose description reads like a classic remote HTTP attack ('A specially crafted HTTP POST request ... allows an unauthenticated attacker'), yet the CVSS vector constrains this to AV:A - verify with Digi whether the admin interface is reachable only over LAN/management interfaces or whether some deployments expose it more broadly, as this materially changes the blast radius. On exploitation-likelihood signals: there is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. No SSVC decision data was supplied. Net assessment: treat as a high-priority patch for any Digi fleet where these devices sit on reachable management or production LANs (industrial/OT environments especially), but the adjacent-only vector means this is not (yet) a mass-scannable Internet worm candidate - prioritize network-reachability review alongside patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has gained a foothold on the same local or management network as a Digi device (e.g., via a compromised adjacent host, rogue device, or misconfigured OT/IT segment) sends a single specially crafted HTTP POST request to the device's web administration interface. Because no authentication is required and complexity is low, the request injects attacker-controlled input that is executed as operating-system commands with root privileges. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity unauthenticated nature makes weaponization straightforward once the interface is reachable. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
Unauthenticated command injection in the web administration interface of multiple Digi International product families (including IX, EX, TX, Connect IT, AnywhereUSB Plus, Connect EZ, XBee Hive, Digi 54xx/63xx, and Digi LR54) allows an attacker on an adjacent network segment to execute arbitrary operating system commands with root privileges via a crafted HTTP POST. The flaw is rated CVSS 9.4 (CVSS 4.0) and requires no authentication or user interaction; the independent assessment confirms AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H on CVSS 3.1. No public exploit code or CISA KEV active exploitation is identified in the supplied data, and the main limiting factors are that the admin web server must be enabled and reachable, and the attacker must be adjacent to the device rather than exploiting across the open internet.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the supplied data; consult the Digi security page at https://www.digi.com/resources/security for firmware updates and apply any vendor-issued fixed release as soon as it is available. Until a patch is confirmed, the primary actionable mitigation from the vendor description is to disable the web server when not actively configuring the device, which removes the attack surface entirely but prevents remote web-based administration. If the web interface must remain enabled, restrict it to an isolated management VLAN and firewall/ACL rules that permit access only from trusted adjacent hosts, because the vector requires adjacent network positioning and does not require authentication; this limits exposure but does not fix the underlying command injection. Monitor the admin interface for unexpected HTTP POST activity and never expose it to untrusted or internet-facing networks.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-78 OS command injection: the embedded web administration interface accepts an HTTP POST parameter and passes it to an OS shell without adequate neutralization, so attacker-controlled input is executed with root privileges. The affected products are Digi International router and gateway families; CPE entries cover digi_international ix_family, ex_family, tx_family, connect_it_family, anywhereusb_plus_family, connect_ez_family, xbee_hive_gateway, xbee_hive_border_router_for_wi-sun, digi_54xx_family, and digi_63xx_family, with additional tags for Digi IX14 and Digi LR54 Family. The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:A/PR:N/UI:N and the independent CVSS 3.1 vector AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H indicate the attack is launched from an adjacent network path, not the open internet, needs no credentials or user action, and can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability with scope change. Authentication requirements are confirmed as unauthenticated by the PR:N component of both vectors.

DescriptionCVE.org
A specially crafted HTTP POST request to the web administration interface allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands with root privileges on the affected device. Disable the web server when not configuring the device.
Executive ViewAI
The critical vulnerability in multiple Digi International product families (IX, EX, TX, Connect IT, AnywhereUSB Plus, Connect EZ, XBee Hive, Digi 54xx/63xx, LR54) allows unauthenticated attackers on an adjacent network to execute root-level commands. These devices are often embedded in industrial, retail, and remote connectivity infrastructure, so a compromise could interrupt critical operations, expose sensitive data, and enable lateral movement across the network. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but with no vendor patch available and exploitation requiring only adjacency, leadership should treat this as an urgent operational risk requiring immediate network segmentation and monitoring.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the web administration interface where not needed, restricting network access to the interface to trusted management segments via firewall or ACLs, isolating affected devices in dedicated VLANs, and monitoring for suspicious HTTP POST traffic. Apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available.
