The system upgrade mechanism accepts unsigned .img files, which can be modified to include malicious scripts within the upgrade.sh or disk image components. These modified upgrade images are not validated for authenticity or integrity, and are executed by the system post-upload, enabling root access.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `kerio_control 9.4.5`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"abyssal","depthScore":64,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":51.7,"likelihood":0.2,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
