Ane-l6012r Firmware: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command
CVE-2023-31996 is a high-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in a command vulnerability in Ane-l6012r Firmware from Hanwhavision, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.41.03 as the first without the flaw, so updating Ane-l6012r Firmware to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 74% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Ane-l6012r Firmware to 1.41.03 or a later version.
- Update Ane-l7012r Firmware to 1.41.03 or a later version.
- Update Ano-l6012r Firmware to 1.41.03 or a later version.

Official description
Hanwha IP Camera ANE-L7012R 1.41.01 is vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper sanitization of special characters for the NAS storage test function.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
- If possible, ensure that all external commands called from the program are statically created.
- Run time: Run time policy enforcement may be used in an allowlist fashion to prevent use of any non-sanctioned commands.
