9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Several stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the DetranCLI command parsing functionality of Siretta QUARTZ-GOLD G5.0.1.5-210720-141020. A specially-crafted network packet can lead to arbitrary command execution. An attacker can send a sequence of requests to trigger these vulnerabilities.This buffer overflow is in the function that manages the 'no vpn basic protocol (l2tp|pptp) name WORD server WORD username WORD passsword WORD firmwall (on|off) defroute (on|off) localip A.B.C.D' command template.

Risk Analysis

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in the DetranCLI command parsing functionality of Siretta QUARTZ-GOLD. It allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands by sending specially-crafted network packets. The critical CVSS score of 9.8 reflects the high severity of potential full system compromise.

There is no known public exploit for this vulnerability, and it is not currently listed in CISA's KEV catalog. However, it is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.

Recommended Action

Users should update to a patched firmware version if available. Restricting network access to the device management interface can help reduce the attack surface.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-41018 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
