CVE-2024-44414 is a critical security vulnerability identified in the FBM_292W-21.03.10V firmware/software version. The vulnerability exists in the sub_4901E0 function within the msp_info.htm file, where improper sanitization of the 'path' parameter allows for command injection attacks. This means an attacker can manipulate the 'path' parameter to inject and execute arbitrary system commands on the affected device remotely. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), and only low privileges (PR:L) without any user interaction (UI:N). The scope is unchanged (S:U), but the impact is severe, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The underlying weakness corresponds to CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'). No patches or fixes have been linked yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild as of the publication date. Given the nature of the vulnerability, successful exploitation could lead to full system compromise, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or lateral movement within a network.

The impact of CVE-2024-44414 is significant for organizations using the affected FBM_292W-21.03.10V software. Exploitation can result in complete system compromise, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of services, and potential use of the compromised device as a foothold for further attacks within an enterprise network. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, making it a critical risk. Organizations relying on this software for network infrastructure or critical operations face potential operational downtime, reputational damage, and regulatory consequences if exploited. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation and high impact necessitate urgent attention.

1. Immediately restrict network access to the vulnerable msp_info.htm interface by implementing firewall rules or network segmentation to limit exposure. 2. Employ strict input validation and sanitization on the 'path' parameter if custom modifications or patches are possible. 3. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual command execution patterns or unexpected parameter values targeting the vulnerable function. 4. Engage with the vendor or software maintainers to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 5. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block command injection attempts targeting this specific parameter. 6. Conduct thorough security assessments and penetration testing on systems running the affected software to identify potential exploitation. 7. Educate system administrators and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid detection and response.
