CVE-2026-18272

Kenwood DNR1007XR startUpdateProcess Command Injection Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the startUpdateProcess method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-28981.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de inyección de comandos startUpdateProcess de Kenwood DNR1007XR. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes presentes físicamente ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de dispositivos Kenwood DNR1007XR. No se requiere autenticación para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. El fallo específico existe en el método startUpdateProcess. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de una cadena proporcionada por el usuario antes de usarla para ejecutar una llamada al sistema. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de root. Fue ZDI-CAN-28981.
