CVE-2007-3010
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedmasterCGI in the Unified Maintenance Tool in Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server R7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the user parameter during a ping action.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in masterCGI of Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise's Unified Maintenance Tool allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'user' parameter during ping operations. This is exploitable remotely without authentication, enabling complete system compromise.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed version of OmniPCXUse the command or interface provided by the Alcatel OmniPCX to display the current version.Affected if The installed version is 7.1 or earlier.
-
Verify if Unified Maintenance Tool is enabledInspect the configuration settings of the OmniPCX to confirm if the Unified Maintenance Tool is active.Affected if The Unified Maintenance Tool is enabled.
-
Inspect user input handling during ping actionsReview the configuration or logs related to user inputs during ping actions in the Unified Maintenance Tool.Affected if User inputs are not properly sanitized.
You are affected if you are running OmniPCX version 7.1 or earlier with the Unified Maintenance Tool enabled and inadequate input handling.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply vendor patches for OmniPCX Enterprise R7.1 or later; if patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the management interface using firewall rules or VPN to limit exposure to trusted networks.
Any version newer than R7.1 (contact vendor for specific fixed release)
- 1. Identify the current installed version of Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server
- 2. Contact Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia for the specific fixed release that addresses CVE-2007-3010
- 3. Request and apply the security patch or upgrade to a version newer than R7.1
- 4. After upgrading, verify the masterCGI component no longer accepts shell metacharacters in the user parameter during ping actions
- 5. Confirm the Unified Maintenance Tool is properly secured and inaccessible from untrusted networks
