Security Advisories: Teltonika RUT9XX OS Command Injection, XSS, Missing Access Control (CVE-2018-17532, CVE-2018-17533, CVE-2018-17534)
CVE -2018-17532: Teltonika RUT9XX Unauthenticated OS Command Injection
Teltonika TUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.04.233 are prone to multiple unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerabilities in autologin.cgi and hotspotlogin.cgi due to insufficient user input sanitization. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
Full Security advisory: https://github.com/sbaresearch/advisories/tree/public/2018/SBA-ADV-20180319-01_Teltonika_OS_Command_Injection
CVE-2018-17533: Teltonika RUT9XX Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Teltonika Rut9XX routers with firmware before 00.05.01.1 are prone to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in hotspotlogin.cgi due to insufficient user input sanitization.
Full security advisory: https://github.com/sbaresearch/advisories/tree/public/2018/SBA-ADV-20180410-01_Teltonika_Cross_Site_Scripting
CVE-2018-17534: Teltonika RUT9XX Missing Acces Control to UART Root Terminal
Teltonika RUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.04.233 provide a root terminal on a serial interface without proper access control. This allows attackers with physical access to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Edgar Weippl holds Keynote at SST
Edgar Weippl gave a keynote on Research Methods and Examples of Research in Distributed Systems Security at the SST 2018 in Osijek, Croatia.
Abstract: Over the past few years an increasing number of descriptive works have helped explain complex phenomena in the area of distributed systems security. These include the efficiency of spam campaigns, the distribution of bots, or the likelihood of users to accept false identities as friends in social networks. Studies in this field are characterized by the necessity of empirical research based on observing, describing and inferring the behaviour of complex systems.
