Technical Analysis & Mitigation Measures

1. Technical Attack Analysis:

The vulnerability described in CVE-2024-11983 pertains to an OS Command Injection in specific router models from Billion Electric. This vulnerability allows remote attackers with administrative access to inject arbitrary system commands via a particular function in SSH.

Attack Techniques:
– T1021.004 – SSH : Attackers can utilize SSH protocols to establish a secure communication channel and exploit the command injection vulnerability. This enables them to execute malicious commands remotely, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data or network resources.
– T1053.002 – At : Attackers may use scheduled task manipulation via the command injection to execute their malicious commands at a future time or on a recurring basis, allowing them to maintain persistence on the device.

Potential Impacts:
– Unauthorized access to the device and sensitive data.
– Alteration or deletion of configuration settings, leading to service disruption.
– Installation of malware or backdoors for continued access.
– Potential pivoting to other devices on the network, escalating the attack to broader network compromise.

2. Mitigation Measures:

– Strengthen Security Configurations:
– Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for SSH access.
– Restrict SSH access to only trusted IP addresses or networks.
– Regularly update and patch router firmware to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
– Disable unused services and features to minimize attack vectors.

– Utilize Specific Tools or Security Software:
– Deploy intrusion detection systems (IDS) to monitor for unusual SSH activity.
– Implement endpoint security solutions to detect and block unauthorized command execution.
– Use network segmentation to limit the potential impact of an exploit.

– Implement Monitoring and Reporting Practices:
– Enable detailed logging of SSH access and command executions on the router.
– Set up alerts for any suspicious activities, such as failed login attempts or unusual command executions.
– Regularly review logs and alerts to identify potential breaches or attempts to exploit the vulnerability.
