This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform remote code execution (RCE) with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8. The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (CWE-78), specifically in the \u003ccode\u003eSetParameter\u003c/code\u003e command. Attackers can inject arbitrary operating system commands due to a lack of proper input sanitization when processing user-supplied input. This vulnerability poses a significant risk as it permits complete compromise of the affected device, potentially leading to data manipulation, system disruption, or further network infiltration. Organizations utilizing X-Rite MA-T6 devices should prioritize patching or implementing mitigation strategies immediately to prevent exploitation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn unauthenticated remote attacker identifies a vulnerable X-Rite MA-T6 device accessible over the network.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious \u003ccode\u003eSetParameter\u003c/code\u003e command containing specially engineered input that includes OS command injection payloads.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe crafted command is transmitted over the network to the vulnerable X-Rite MA-T6 device.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe device receives and processes the \u003ccode\u003eSetParameter\u003c/code\u003e command without adequately sanitizing the user-supplied input.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe injected operating system commands are executed by the device's underlying system with the privileges of the affected service.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker gains remote code execution on the MA-T6 device, enabling unauthorized control, data access, or system alteration.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis full system compromise can lead to data exfiltration, device manipulation, or serve as a pivot point for further attacks within the internal network.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2023-49900 allows an unauthenticated attacker to achieve full remote code execution on the vulnerable X-Rite MA-T6 device. This can lead to complete compromise of the device, enabling the attacker to manipulate its functions, extract sensitive data it processes, or disrupt its operation. Given that these devices are typically used in industrial or quality control environments, the impact could extend to production downtime, compromised product quality, or even safety risks. There is no specific information on the number of victims or targeted sectors, but any organization using unpatched X-Rite MA-T6 devices is at risk.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"recommendation\"\u003eRecommendation\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch CVE-2023-49900 by upgrading X-Rite MA-T6 devices to v2.33 or later immediately.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview network segmentation to ensure X-Rite MA-T6 devices are not directly exposed to the internet.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor network traffic for unusual command execution patterns or unauthorized access attempts targeting X-Rite MA-T6 devices.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n","date_modified":"2026-07-16T11:18:47Z","date_published":"2026-07-16T11:18:47Z","id":"https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-07-cve-2023-49900-xrite-rce/","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can achieve critical remote code execution in X-Rite MA-T6 devices running versions prior to v2.33 due to improper input sanitization in the `SetParameter` command, allowing for OS command injection via CVE-2023-49900.","title":"Critical RCE Vulnerability in X-Rite MA-T6 Devices (CVE-2023-49900)","url":"https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-07-cve-2023-49900-xrite-rce/"}],"language":"en","title":"CraftedSignal Threat Feed - MA-T6 (\u003c V2.33)","version":"https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1"}
