An exploitable remote code execution vulnerability exists in the upload.cgi functionality of Sierra Wireless AirLink ES450 FW 4.9.3. A specially crafted HTTP request can upload a file, resulting in executable code being uploaded, and routable, to the webserver. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
Sierra Wireless ALEOS before 4.4.2 on AirLink ES, GX, and LS devices has hardcoded root accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative access via a (1) SSH or (2) TELNET session.
