Short explanation

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in Hitachi Energy CoreTec 5 and CoreTec 4 products within the configuration daemon's time synchronization handler (S0). It allows authenticated users with certain roles to execute arbitrary system commands (S0). The patch status remains unknown (S0).

Why does it matter?

It carries high risk as it allows authenticated attackers to gain full control over the device (S0). The vulnerability permits command concatenation due to a lack of input sanitization (S0).

What should be done?

Follow the vendor advisory (S0)
