CVE-2024-41988
CVE-2024-41988 allows unauthenticated file uploads on TEM Opera Plus FM Family Transmitters, potentially leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability lets attackers overwrite the flash program memory, compromising the web server and other modules. The unprotected endpoint for MPFS File System binary image upload is the root cause. While the SVRS score is 30, indicating a lower immediate threat compared to critical vulnerabilities, the potential for arbitrary code execution means this issue should be addressed to prevent future exploitation. Successful exploitation allows for complete system takeover, enabling attackers to disrupt operations, steal sensitive information, or use the device as a foothold in the network. Therefore, even with a moderate SVRS, patching this vulnerability is crucial for maintaining system integrity and preventing severe security breaches.
