Required Action (CISA)

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Risk Analysis

Multiple Crestron products are affected by a command injection vulnerability, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to execute operating system commands as root. The extremely high EPSS score of 0.94343 signifies a very high probability of exploitation, demanding immediate attention. This vulnerability is also confirmed as exploited by CISA.

This vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild and is included in CISA's KEV catalog. As a remote, unauthenticated command injection, it is easily exploitable over the network.

Recommended Action

It is critical to apply the latest security updates provided by Crestron for all affected products. Network segmentation and restricting access to the file_transfer.cgi endpoint can also help reduce exposure.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2019-3929 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

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

CISA has added CVE-2019-3929 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
