Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to obtain arbitrary operating system files and execute arbitrary code.
The following version of Keysight N6854A Geolocation and server and N6841A Sensor software, a spectrum monitoring platform, are affected:
The affected products are vulnerable to directory traversal, which may allow an attacker to obtain arbitrary operating system files.
CVE-2022-1661 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
The affected products are vulnerable of untrusted data due to deserialization without prior authorization/authentication, which may allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2022-1660 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
rgod, working with Trend Microβs Zero Day Initiative, reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
Keysight recommends users update N6854A and N6841A RF to v2.4.0 or later.
CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Specifically, users should:
