| VULNERABILITY DETAILS |
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Cisco RV340 routers. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of file-copy JSON RPC requests. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. |
