An authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted route to the “edit_route.cgi” binary and have it execute shell commands. This vulnerability impacts products based on HID Mercury Intelligent Controllers LP1501, LP1502, LP2500, LP4502, and EP4502 which contain firmware versions prior to 1.303 for the LP series and 1.297 for the EP series. An attacker with this level of access on the device can monitor all communications sent to and from this device, modify onboard relays, change configuration files, or cause the device to become unstable.
Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database
An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted route to the 'edit_route.cgi' binary, leading to the execution of arbitrary shell commands. This can result in the attacker gaining full control over the device, including monitoring communications, modifying onboard relays, changing configuration files, and causing the device to become unstable.

| Public Exploit | Not confirmed |
| PoC Code | Not confirmed |
Implement strict input validation and sanitization for the 'edit_route.cgi' endpoint to prevent the execution of arbitrary shell commands. Additionally, restrict access to this endpoint to only trusted users and IP addresses.
This CVE violates CIP-007-R2 as it allows unauthorized access to the control system, potentially leading to the compromise of critical functions and data.
This CVE maps to SR 7.6 because it involves the protection of the control system from unauthorized access and manipulation, which can lead to operational disruptions and safety risks.
