Cisco's Talos threat intelligence and research unit has disclosed the details of several critical vulnerabilities affecting a router monitoring application made by Taiwan-based industrial and IoT solutions provider Advantech.
The affected tool is R-SeeNet, which is designed to help network administrators monitor their Advantech routers.
Talos researchers discovered that R-SeeNet is affected by seven vulnerabilities, a majority of which have been assigned a critical severity rating.
An attacker can exploit the vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the targeted user's browser by getting them to click on a malicious link, execute arbitrary OS commands using specially crafted HTTP requests, or execute PHP commands via malicious HTTP requests.
The vulnerabilities have been found in R-SeeNet version 2.4.12 and were reported to Advantech in March.
Many of the vulnerabilities identified in Advantech products are reported to the vendor through Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative.
