CVE-2024-56835
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk42th percentile - higher than 42% of all known CVEs
Summary
In RUGGEDCOM ROX products (all versions < V2.17.0), the DHCP Server configuration file is subject to code injection. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to spawn a reverse shell and gain root access on the affected system.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability allows remote code execution with root privileges, potentially leading to full device compromise and further lateral movement within the network.
Recommendation
Update RUGGEDCOM ROX software to version V2.17.0 or later.
Other vulnerabilities in RUGGEDCOM ROX
See all- CVE-2025-40949Critical
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX allows an authenticated remote attacker to inject commands into the task scheduler via the Web UI. Lack of proper input sanitization enables arbitrary command execution with root privileges.
- CVE-2025-40948Medium
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX devices allows an authenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the OS filesystem with root privileges. The issue stems from improper input validation in the web server's JSON-RPC interface.
- CVE-2025-40947High
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX devices allows an authenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary commands during feature key installation. Insufficient input sanitization leads to remote code execution with root privileges.
- CVE-2024-56840High
In RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (versions < V2.17.0), under certain conditions IPsec may allow code injection. An attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as root.
- CVE-2024-56839High
In RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (versions < V2.17.0), code injection can be achieved when using VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding). An attacker could execute arbitrary code as root.
- CVE-2024-56838High
In RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (versions < V2.17.0), the SCEP client used for secure certificate enrollment lacks validation of multiple fields. An attacker could execute arbitrary code as root.
- CVE-2024-56837High
In RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (versions < V2.17.0), insufficient validation during installation and loading of configuration files allows an attacker to spawn a reverse shell and gain root access.
- CVE-2024-56836High
In RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (versions < V2.17.0), during Dynamic DNS configuration it is possible to inject additional configuration parameters. Under certain circumstances, an attacker could spawn a reverse shell and gain root access.
- CVE-2022-29562Low
A vulnerability in RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (versions < V2.16.0) involves improper handling of malformed HTTP packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send such a packet, causing certain functions to fail in a controlled manner.
