CVE-2024-58286 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) found in vexorian dizqueTV version 1.5.3. The flaw exists in the handling of the FFMPEG Executable Path configuration, where user-supplied input is not properly neutralized before being passed to the operating system shell. This improper input validation enables attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the host system, potentially leading to full system compromise. For example, attackers can read sensitive system files such as /etc/passwd, which may disclose user account information. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3, indicating critical severity due to its network attack vector, no required privileges, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the ease of exploitation and potential damage make this a high-priority issue. dizqueTV is a media streaming server software that leverages FFMPEG for media processing, commonly used in niche streaming and broadcasting environments. The vulnerability stems from the application's failure to sanitize or validate the FFMPEG executable path input, allowing shell metacharacters or commands to be injected and executed by the underlying OS shell. This type of vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it allows remote attackers to gain arbitrary code execution capabilities, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or pivoting within the network.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2024-58286 can be severe. Organizations using dizqueTV for media streaming, broadcasting, or content distribution may face full system compromise, data breaches, and service outages. Confidentiality is at risk due to potential unauthorized access to sensitive files and data. Integrity and availability can be compromised if attackers modify or disrupt media services or use the compromised system as a foothold for further attacks. Given the critical nature of the vulnerability and the lack of authentication requirements, attackers can exploit it remotely with minimal effort. This poses a significant threat to media companies, broadcasters, and any enterprise relying on dizqueTV in their infrastructure. Additionally, compromised systems could be used to launch attacks against other internal or external targets, amplifying the risk. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for mitigation, but the critical CVSS score underscores the urgency for European organizations to act swiftly.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting network access to the dizqueTV configuration interface, ensuring only trusted administrators can modify settings. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the FFMPEG Executable Path setting to prevent injection of shell metacharacters or commands. 3. If possible, upgrade to a patched version of dizqueTV once available; monitor vendor advisories closely. 4. Employ application-layer firewalls or intrusion detection/prevention systems to detect and block suspicious command injection attempts targeting dizqueTV. 5. Conduct regular audits of configuration files and logs to identify unauthorized changes or exploitation attempts. 6. Isolate dizqueTV servers within segmented network zones to limit lateral movement if compromised. 7. Consider replacing or supplementing dizqueTV with alternative media streaming solutions that have a stronger security posture if patching is delayed. 8. Educate administrators on secure configuration practices and the risks of command injection vulnerabilities. 9. Monitor for unusual system behavior or unexpected outbound connections from dizqueTV hosts. 10. Implement robust backup and recovery procedures to restore services quickly in case of compromise.
