Command Injection in Mitel 6800/6900/6900w Series SIP Phones
CVE-2024-41710 is a command/argument injection vulnerability affecting Mitel 6800 Series, 6900 Series, and 6900w Series SIP Phones, including the 6970 Conference Unit, through firmware R6.4.0.HF1 (R6.4.0.136). The issue is caused by insufficient parameter sanitization during the boot process, allowing an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to inject crafted arguments that are interpreted by the underlying system. Public reporting and observed exploitation indicate the flaw can be abused via device configuration handling, including the 8021xsupport.html endpoint, to introduce malicious content that is later processed during boot. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution in the system context; supporting reporting indicates this can lead to root-level access on affected devices.
