CVE-2016-10043: An issue was discovered in Radisys MRF Web Panel (SWMS) 9.0.1.

An issue was discovered in Radisys MRF Web Panel (SWMS) 9.0.1. The MSM_MACRO_NAME POST parameter in /swms/ms.cgi was discovered to be vulnerable to OS command injection attacks. It is possible to use the pipe character (|) to inject arbitrary OS commands and retrieve the output in the application's responses. Attackers could execute unauthorized commands, which could then be used to disable the software, or read, write, and modify data for which the attacker does not have permissions to access directly. Since the targeted application is directly executing the commands instead of the attacker, any malicious activities may appear to come from the application or the application's owner (apache user).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2016-10043 is an OS command injection flaw in Radisys MRF Web Panel (SWMS) 9.0.1. If reachable, an attacker could make the application run unauthorized system commands and see command output in responses, potentially affecting service availability and data integrity.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing or broadly reachable SWMS instance. The issue enables command execution through a management web panel, which can create operational disruption and data tampering risk even without confirmed active exploitation.

Technical view

The MSM_MACRO_NAME POST parameter in /swms/ms.cgi is reported vulnerable to OS command injection. The application executes injected commands in its own context, described as the apache user, which can make malicious actions appear to originate from the application owner.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to environments running Radisys MRF Web Panel (SWMS) 9.0.1, especially if the SWMS web interface is reachable by untrusted networks. The sources do not identify other affected versions or products.

Exploitation context

A public Exploit-DB reference exists, but the bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. Treat reachable systems seriously, but do not assume active exploitation without local indicators.

Researcher notes

Evidence is narrow: the CVE description names one product version, one endpoint, one parameter, and an Exploit-DB reference. No CVSS, CWE, patch details, authentication requirement, or expanded version range is provided in the supplied bundle.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Radisys or maintainer guidance for fixed versions or supported mitigations.
  • Remove public or broad network access to the SWMS web panel.
  • Restrict access to trusted administrative networks and authenticated operators.
  • Review whether the affected SWMS version can be upgraded, replaced, or decommissioned.
  • Monitor web and system logs for suspicious activity from the application user.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory systems for Radisys MRF Web Panel (SWMS) 9.0.1.
  • Confirm whether /swms/ms.cgi is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review access logs for unusual POST activity to the affected endpoint.
  • Check process and file activity attributed to the web server user.
  • Verify compensating controls limit administrative web panel exposure.
