Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-01-09 09:59 – Updated: 2025-06-03 14:32

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in CP-8031 MASTER MODULE (All versions < CPCI85 V05.20), CP-8050 MASTER MODULE (All versions < CPCI85 V05.20). The network configuration service of affected devices contains a flaw in the conversion of ipv4 addresses that could lead to an uninitialized variable being used in succeeding validation steps. By uploading specially crafted network configuration, an authenticated remote attacker could be able to inject commands that are executed on the device with root privileges during device startup.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
