What to do

AI-suggested

  1. Immediately restrict access to the router’s management interface to trusted administrators only, preferably via VPN or secure management VLANs.
  2. Monitor network traffic and router logs for unusual command execution patterns or unauthorized configuration changes.
  3. Disable remote management interfaces if not required.
  4. Apply any firmware updates or patches released by Motorola as soon as they become available.
  5. 6. Implement network segmentation to limit the impact of a compromised router. 7. Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) tuned to detect command injection attempts targeting router management functions. 8. Educate network administrators about the vulnerability and ensure strong authentication mechanisms are in place to prevent unauthorized access.

Description

A command injection vulnerability exists in Motorola CX2L router v1.0.2 and below. The vulnerability is present in the SetStationSettings function. The system directly invokes the system function to execute commands for setting parameters such as MAC address without proper input filtering. This allows malicious users to inject and execute arbitrary commands.
