Sambar Server before 6.0 beta 3 allows attackers with physical access to execute arbitrary code via a request with an MS-DOS device name such as com1.pl, con.pl, or aux.pl, which causes Perl to read the code from the associated device.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Sambar Server versions can let someone with physical access make the server run code through a malformed local request involving Windows device names. The bundle does not show internet-scale exploitation, but arbitrary code execution on a server is still a meaningful business risk where this legacy software remains installed. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Sambar Server before 6.0 beta 3, especially on Windows hosts where local physical access is possible. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an emergency internet-wide incident, unless affected systems are reachable by untrusted physical users or protect sensitive operations. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Sambar Server installations and versions.; Upgrade versions earlier than 6.0 beta 3 if vendor guidance supports it.; Check archived vendor and advisory guidance before choosing compensating controls..
