CVE-2026-7865: CWE-88 Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command ('argument injection') in Crestron Electronics Touchpanels (x60/x70)
CVE-2026-7865 is a command injection vulnerability in Crestron Electronics Touchpanels (x60/x70) firmware version 3.002.0043.001. The flaw exists in a hidden console command that improperly neutralizes argument delimiters when passing control characters to its second argument, allowing command injection. An attacker with authenticated SSH console access could exploit this to execute arbitrary OS commands. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.4. No official patch or remediation guidance has been published yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-7865) involves improper neutralization of argument delimiters (CWE-88) in a hidden console command on Crestron Touchpanels (x60/x70). Specifically, the console command passes arguments to a popen function call without adequate sanitization of control characters in the second argument, enabling command injection. Exploitation requires authenticated SSH console access to the affected device. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.4, reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated SSH console access to the affected Crestron Touchpanel devices can execute arbitrary operating system commands due to command injection. This could lead to unauthorized control of the device or compromise of the underlying OS environment. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict SSH console access to trusted administrators only and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. Avoid exposing SSH interfaces to untrusted networks.
