CVE-2026-81942: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in PLANET Technology Corp. PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S V1
PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S industrial managed switch V1 and V2 firmware versions before 1.2412b260707 and 2.2412b260519 contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the web server. User-supplied input is passed to system() without sufficient filtering, allowing a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system and escalate privileges to root.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The PLANET IGS-5225-8P2T4S V1 and V2 firmware versions prior to 1.2412b260707 and 2.2412b260519 respectively have an OS command injection vulnerability in the embedded web server. The vulnerability arises because user-supplied input is passed directly to the system() call without adequate sanitization, enabling remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system and escalate privileges to root.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges on the affected device. This can lead to full system compromise, unauthorized control, and potential disruption of industrial network operations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the device's web interface to trusted users only and monitor for unusual activity. Avoid exposing the management interface to untrusted networks.
