- Command Injection: CGI scripts that parse user input (e.g., IP address configuration) may improperly sanitize inputs, allowing an attacker on the local LAN to execute arbitrary system commands.
- Hardcoded Credentials: To facilitate remote troubleshooting, firmware images often contain hardcoded backdoor accounts (e.g.,
root:satlink or similar factory defaults) that are not exposed in the UI but are active in the underlying Linux/RTOS shell.
- Buffer Overflows: The parsing of complex SNMP MIBs or malformed HTTP headers can
