CVE-2022-46361
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 · uneditedAn attacker having physical access to WDM can plug USB device to gain access and execute unwanted commands. A malicious user could enter a system command along with a backup configuration, which could result in the execution of unwanted commands. This issue affects OneWireless all versions up to 322.1 and fixed in version 322.2.
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 confidenceThis is a command injection vulnerability in Honeywell's OneWireless WDM (Wireless Device Manager). An attacker with physical access can exploit the backup configuration restore function by embedding malicious system commands within a backup configuration file. When the compromised backup is restored, arbitrary commands are executed with the privileges of the WDM system.

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.
-
Confirm Honeywell OneWireless WDM is in useIdentify the device model and confirm it is a Honeywell OneWireless Network Wireless Device Manager. Check the device label, management console, or network inventory for the device type.Affected if The device is a Honeywell OneWireless WDM unit.
-
Check firmware versionAccess the WDM management interface or device console and retrieve the current firmware version. Compare it against the reported affected version r322.2.Affected if The installed firmware version is earlier than r322.2.
-
Verify backup restore feature availabilityCheck the WDM management interface or documentation to determine if the backup configuration restore function is enabled or accessible. This feature is typically found in the system administration or maintenance section.Affected if The backup configuration restore function is present and accessible on the device.
-
Assess physical access controlsReview physical security controls around the WDM hardware. Determine if unauthorized individuals could gain physical access to connect USB devices or manipulate backup files.Affected if Physical access to the WDM hardware is not restricted or monitored.
The environment is affected if the device is a Honeywell OneWireless WDM running firmware earlier than r322.2 and the backup configuration restore feature is accessible, especially if physical access controls are weak.
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 · scopedUpgrade OneWireless WDM to version 322.2 or later. Additionally, enforce strict physical access controls to the WDM hardware and implement USB device policies to prevent unauthorized device insertion.
firmware version 322.2
- Obtain the fixed firmware version 322.2 from the official Honeywell process.honeywell.com portal or authorized distribution channel
- Access the OneWireless Wireless Device Manager (WDM) administrative interface
- Navigate to the firmware upgrade or system maintenance section
- Upload and apply firmware version 322.2 to the Wireless Device Manager
- Allow the device to complete the upgrade process and reboot
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the firmware version in the WDM interface
- Confirm that the USB port and backup configuration functionality no longer accept arbitrary command injection
