Remote Management System: Inclusion of Web Functionality from an Untrusted Source
CVE-2023-2588 is a high-severity inclusion of web functionality from an untrusted source vulnerability in Remote Management System from Teltonika, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 4.10.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Remote Management System to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.12% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 67% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Remote Management System to 4.10.0 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description
Teltonika’s Remote Management System versions prior to 4.10.0 have a feature allowing users to access managed devices’ local secure shell (SSH)/web management services over the cloud proxy. A user can request a web proxy and obtain a URL in the Remote Management System cloud subdomain. This URL could be shared with others without Remote Management System authentication . An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create a malicious webpage that uses a trusted and certified domain. An attacker could initiate a reverse shell when a victim connects to the malicious webpage, achieving remote code execution on the victim device.

The underlying weakness: Inclusion of Web Functionality from an Untrusted Source
The product includes web functionality (such as a web widget) from another domain in a way that causes the functionality to operate within the domain of the product, potentially granting total access and control of the product to the untrusted source.
