DenyAll WAF before 6.4.1 allows unauthenticated remote command execution via TCP port 3001 because shell metacharacters can be inserted into the type parameter to the tailDateFile function in /webservices/stream/tail.php. An iToken authentication parameter is required but can be obtained by exploiting CVE-2017-14706. This affects DenyAll i-Suite LTS 5.5.0 through 5.5.12, i-Suite 5.6, Web Application Firewall 5.7, and Web Application Firewall 6.x before 6.4.1, with On Premises or AWS/Azure cloud deployments.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2017-14705 lets an unauthenticated remote attacker run operating-system commands on vulnerable DenyAll WAF systems through TCP port 3001 when combined with CVE-2017-14706 to obtain the required iToken. A compromised WAF can expose protected applications, traffic inspection, and cloud or on-premises edge infrastructure.

Executive priority

Treat this as urgent for any exposed DenyAll WAF deployment. The vulnerable component sits at the application edge, and remote command execution can turn a defensive control into a foothold.

Technical view

The issue is command injection in /webservices/stream/tail.php. Shell metacharacters can be inserted into the type parameter passed to tailDateFile. The iToken parameter is required, but the CVE record says it can be obtained through CVE-2017-14706. Affected products include DenyAll i-Suite LTS 5.5.0-5.5.12, i-Suite 5.6, WAF 5.7, and WAF 6.x before 6.4.1.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where affected DenyAll WAF or i-Suite deployments expose TCP port 3001 to untrusted networks. The CVE explicitly includes on-premises and AWS/Azure cloud deployments.

Exploitation context

CISA KEV is not listed in the supplied bundle, so active exploitation is not confirmed here. Public security advisory and Metasploit references indicate public technical awareness, but this assessment does not rely on unverified exploit activity.

Researcher notes

The supplied CVE data lacks CVSS, CWE, and detailed vendor remediation text. The key chain condition is the iToken dependency, which the CVE says can be satisfied through CVE-2017-14706. Avoid assessing exploit prevalence without additional evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade DenyAll WAF 6.x to 6.4.1 or later where applicable.
  • Check vendor advisory for supported fixes for i-Suite and older WAF branches.
  • Restrict TCP port 3001 to trusted administrative networks only.
  • Review exposure of on-premises and AWS/Azure DenyAll deployments.
  • Prioritize remediation alongside CVE-2017-14706 because it supports token acquisition.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory DenyAll WAF and i-Suite versions across all environments.
  • Identify any systems running affected versions listed in the CVE record.
  • Confirm whether TCP port 3001 is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review logs for unexpected access to /webservices/stream/tail.php.
  • Verify whether CVE-2017-14706 is also remediated.
