CVE-2026-34794: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') (CWE-78) in Endian Endian Firewall
Endian Firewall version 3. 3. 25 and earlier contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the DATE parameter of /cgi-bin/logs_ids. cgi. Authenticated users can exploit this flaw because the DATE parameter is used unsafely in a Perl open() call due to incomplete input validation. This allows arbitrary OS command execution. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8. 7. No patch or official remediation has been indicated in the provided data. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-34794 is an OS command injection vulnerability affecting Endian Firewall version 3.3.25 and prior. The issue arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the DATE parameter passed to /cgi-bin/logs_ids.cgi. The parameter value is incorporated into a file path used in a Perl open() call without sufficient regular expression validation, enabling authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected Endian Firewall device. This can lead to unauthorized system control, data compromise, or disruption of firewall functionality. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7, indicating significant impact potential if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict authenticated user access to trusted personnel only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the /cgi-bin/logs_ids.cgi endpoint. Avoid exposing the management interface to untrusted networks.
