CVE-2023-29120
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 · uneditedWaybox Enel X web management application could be used to execute arbitrary OS commands and provide administrator’s privileges over the Waybox 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 Waybox Enel X web management application allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands and escalate privileges to administrator level on the Waybox 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.
-
Identify the device modelLocate the physical device or check system inventory for Waybox Enel X or Enelx Waybox Pro charging stations or energy management devicesAffected if The device is a Waybox Enel X product and the firmware version is below 2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a
-
Determine the installed firmware versionAccess the device admin interface or check system information panels for the firmware build number, typically found under Settings, System Info, or About sectionsAffected if The firmware version string is lower than 2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a or the version cannot be determined but the device is a Waybox Enel X unit
-
Verify web management interface statusCheck if the web-based administration interface is enabled and accessible on the network, typically on ports 80 or 443Affected if The web management interface is exposed and the firmware version is below 2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a
-
Review admin user accountsExamine the list of configured administrator accounts in the web management interface under User Management or Admin SettingsAffected if Unexpected or unauthorized administrator accounts exist in the system
-
Audit for command injection indicatorsReview web server logs, system logs, or any available audit trails for suspicious command patterns, unusual shell executions, or unexpected system calls originating from the web applicationAffected if Logs show anomalous commands or shell invocations that were not initiated by authorized administrators
You are affected if you have a Waybox Enel X device running firmware version lower than 2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a with the web management interface enabled.
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 · scoped2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a
Apply vendor patch if available; otherwise restrict network access to the management interface and enforce strict authentication to limit exposure to trusted users only.
2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a
- 1. Identify the current firmware version of the Waybox Pro device through the web management interface or device documentation
- 2. Navigate to the official Enel X Waybox support page or firmware download section at support-emobility.enelx.com
- 3. Download the firmware version 2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a or later
- 4. Access the Waybox Pro web management application as administrator
- 5. Locate the firmware update or system settings section in the management interface
- 6. Upload and apply the firmware version 2.1.1.0_jb3vu096a
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the firmware version after reboot
