CVE-2023-46306

• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.6 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 1.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2023-10-22 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-78

Description

The web administration interface in NetModule Router Software (NRSW) 4.6 before 4.6.0.106 and 4.8 before 4.8.0.101 executes an OS command constructed with unsanitized user input: shell metacharacters in the /admin/gnssAutoAlign.php device_id parameter. This occurs because another thread can be started before the trap that triggers the cleanup function. A successful exploit could allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. NOTE: this is different from CVE-2023-0861 and CVE-2023-0862, which were fixed in version 4.6.0.105.

• Netmodule Router Software: before 4.6.0.105; from 4.7.0.0 before 4.7.0.103 — fixed in 4.6.0.105, 4.7.0.103

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Netmodule Router Software 4.6.0.105, 4.7.0.103. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
