LNL-X2210: Direct Request

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2022-31480 is a high-severity direct request vulnerability in LNL-X2210 from LenelS2, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.302 as the first without the flaw, so updating LNL-X2210 to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.98% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 63% of scored CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update LNL-X2210 to 1.302 or a later version.
  2. Update LNL-X2220 to 1.302 or a later version.
  3. Update LNL-X3300 to 1.302 or a later version.
  4. Read the advisory on corporate.carrier.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  5. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

An unauthenticated attacker could arbitrarily upload firmware files to the target device, ultimately causing a Denial-of-Service (DoS). This vulnerability impacts products based on HID Mercury Intelligent Controllers LP1501, LP1502, LP2500, LP4502, and EP4502 which contain firmware versions prior to 1.302 for the LP series and 1.296 for the EP series. The attacker needs to have a properly signed and encrypted binary, loading the firmware to the device ultimately triggers a reboot.

The underlying weakness: Direct Request

The web application does not adequately enforce appropriate authorization on all restricted URLs, scripts, or files.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Apply appropriate access control authorizations for each access to all restricted URLs, scripts or files.
  • Consider using MVC based frameworks such as Struts.
