CVE-2017-6048
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 · uneditedA Command Injection issue was discovered in Satel Iberia SenNet Data Logger and Electricity Meters: SenNet Optimal DataLogger V5.37c-1.43c and prior, SenNet Solar Datalogger V5.03-1.56a and prior, and SenNet Multitask Meter V5.21a-1.18b and prior. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the attacker breaking out of the jailed shell and gaining full access to the system.
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 · moderate confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in Satel Iberia SenNet data logger product line (Optimal DataLogger, Solar Datalogger, Multitask Meter). Attackers can inject arbitrary OS commands through the device interface, escape the jailed shell environment, and achieve full system root access.

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.
-
Identify the SenNet device modelLocate the physical device or check network inventory for Satel Iberia SenNet data loggers. Common model identifiers include Multitask Meter, Optimal Datalogger, or Solar Datalogger.Affected if The device is a Satel Iberia SenNet Multitask Meter, Optimal Datalogger, or Solar Datalogger.
-
Determine the installed firmware versionAccess the device web interface or administrative console and locate the firmware/version information typically displayed in system status, about, or settings pages.Affected if The firmware version cannot be verified or is at or below 5.21a-1.18b for Multitask Meter, 5.37c-1.43c for Optimal Datalogger, or 5.03-1.56a for Solar Datalogger.
-
Confirm the device management interface is reachableAttempt to access the device web interface or management port on the network. Check if HTTP/HTTPS or administrative ports are listening and accessible.Affected if The administrative interface is accessible from network segments that are not restricted.
-
Verify network exposure of the deviceReview network segmentation and firewall rules to determine if the SenNet device is isolated from untrusted networks or directly accessible from the internet.Affected if The device is on a network segment without access controls or is exposed to external networks.
You are affected if you have a SenNet Multitask Meter, Optimal Datalogger, or Solar Datalogger device running firmware at or below the vulnerable version thresholds and its management interface is accessible from your network.

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.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware updates beyond the vulnerable versions (Optimal >V5.37c-1.43c, Solar >V5.03-1.56a, Multitask >V5.21a-1.18b). Until patched, isolate devices on restricted network segments and disable external management interfaces.
