Kiloview E3 NDI encoder lets logged-in users run commands as root
A logged-in user of the device's web page can slip extra commands into the device name field. The device then runs those commands with full control, so an attacker could take over the encoder.

How the attack works simplified
- 1Logged-in userHas web access to the device
- 2Device name fieldHostname input is not sanitized
- 3Shell command runsInput is passed unquoted to the shell
- 4Injected commandsExtra commands execute as root
- ResultAttacker gains root on the encoder
What happened
The system control service on Kiloview E3 NDI encoder firmware passes the hostname parameter of its device naming endpoint unquoted into a shell command, enabling OS command injection.
