Last modified
CVE-2021-37748 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Multiple buffer overflows in the limited configuration shell (/sbin/gs_config) on Grandstream HT801 devices before 1.0.29 allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code as root via a crafted manage_if setting, thus bypassing the intended restrictions of this shell and taking full control of the device. There are default weak credentials that can be used to authenticate.. EPSS estimates a 7.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
