An exploitable command execution vulnerability exists in the recovery partition of Bitdefender BOX 2, version 2.0.1.91. The API method /api/update_setup does not perform firmware signature checks atomically, leading to an exploitable race condition (TOCTTOU) that allows arbitrary execution of system commands. This issue affects: Bitdefender Bitdefender BOX 2 versions prior to 2.1.47.36.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.
