Summary

CVE-2022-36779 is a medium-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Proscend M330-W Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, ranked in the top 3.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis

CVE-2022-36779 is an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects multiple Proscend 4G/5G industrial cellular routers with GPS (M330-w, M33-W5, M350-5G, M350-W5G, M350-6, M350-W6, M301-G, M301-GW) as well as the equivalent ADVICE ICR 111WG model. The flaw resides in the web management interface of these devices and permits arbitrary command execution without requiring prior authentication in the reported attack path.

An attacker with adjacent-network access and low privileges can supply crafted input that is passed directly to the underlying operating system, resulting in command execution with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the device’s security context. The CVSS 6.5 score reflects the requirement for adjacent-network adjacency and the constrained scope of the resulting effects.

Public advisories referenced by the Israeli government list the CVE but do not detail specific patches or configuration changes. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.23 since disclosure, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest.

Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-78

Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.

addresses: CWE-78

Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.
