Nice Linear eMerge E3-Series OS Command Injection Vulnerability
Nice · Linear eMerge E3-Series
The Linear eMerge E3-Series devices from Nice contain an OS command injection flaw, classified as improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command. An attacker who can reach the device over the network can exploit it without authentication or user interaction, executing arbitrary OS commands with a low-complexity attack.
Linear eMerge E3-Series devices allow Command Injections.
