CVE-2023-25717
Overview
This vulnerability is a command injection flaw rooted in improper input validation within the Ruckus Wireless Admin interface. The affected component processes HTTP GET requests without authentication, specifically mishandling user-supplied parameters in the login form. The vulnerability arises from executing shell commands embedded in input parameters, allowing arbitrary code execution on the server hosting the administration interface.
Vulnerability Description
Ruckus Wireless Admin through 10.4 allows Remote Code Execution via an unauthenticated HTTP GET Request, as demonstrated by a /forms/doLogin?login_username=admin&password=password$(curl substring.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary system commands remotely on the affected Ruckus Wireless Admin interface. This enables full compromise of the device, including unauthorized access to sensitive configuration data, potential lateral movement within the network, and disruption of wireless services. No user interaction or valid credentials are required, allowing attackers to exploit the vulnerability remotely over the network, posing a critical risk to network infrastructure integrity and confidentiality.
Solution
Ruckus Wireless has published a security bulletin (ID 315) addressing this vulnerability. Administrators should upgrade affected Ruckus Wireless Admin and SmartZone AP devices to firmware versions later than 10.4 as specified in the advisory. Detailed patch instructions and mitigation steps are available at https://support.ruckuswireless.com/security_bulletins/315. Applying the vendor-supplied updates promptly is essential to remediate the command injection flaw and secure the management interface.
