6.5

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

main/manager.c in the Manager Interface in Asterisk Open Source 1.6.2.x before 1.6.2.24, 1.8.x before 1.8.11.1, and 10.x before 10.3.1 and Asterisk Business Edition C.3.x before C.3.7.4 does not properly enforce System class authorization requirements, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via (1) the originate action in the MixMonitor application, (2) the SHELL and EVAL functions in the GetVar manager action, or (3) the SHELL and EVAL functions in the Status manager action.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2012-2414 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
