CVE-2018-6826 — An issue was discovered on VOBOT CLOCK before 0.99.30 devices

High CVSS 7.6

An issue was discovered on VOBOT CLOCK before 0.99.30 devices. Cleartext HTTP is used to download a breakout program, and therefore man-in-the-middle attackers can execute arbitrary code by watching for a local user to launch the Breakout Easter Egg feature, and then sending a crafted HTTP response.

Command, code, expression, and template injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace untrusted values to process execution, interpreters, evaluators, template engines, dynamic imports, and administrative scripting features.
  • Determine whether the affected path is reachable across each trust boundary and which service account or host privilege it inherits.
  • Review configuration for optional execution features, unsafe compatibility modes, and shell invocation.

Remediate safely

  • Replace string-built commands or evaluated code with fixed operations and structured argument APIs that do not invoke a shell.
  • Use strict allowlists for operation identifiers and reject unexpected input before it reaches any interpreter.
  • Update the affected component and add inert regression tests covering metacharacters, encoding variants, and alternate request paths.
