CVE-2018-4063Sierra Wireless AirLink — authenticated upload to code execution

The device manager on Sierra Wireless AirLink gateways (AirLink ES450, firmware 4.9.3) accepts an upload that lands as executable code reachable from the web server, so a signed-in user ends up with code running on the gateway.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Replace or isolate the gateway — the product line is end-of-life; follow CISA advisory ICSA-19-122-03 and keep the management interface off routable networks.
