Description
Cmder Console Emulator 1.3.18 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to trigger a denial of service condition through a maliciously crafted .cmd file. Attackers can create a specially constructed .cmd file with repeated characters to overwhelm the console emulator's buffer and crash the application.
Remediation
Update Cmder Console Emulator Multiple Products to the latest version. Monitor for exploitation attempts and review access logs.
Executive Summary:
A high-severity vulnerability has been identified in multiple Power products, specifically affecting the Dynojet Power Core 2 software. Successful exploitation could allow a remote attacker to compromise the application, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution, data theft, or system manipulation. Organizations are urged to apply vendor patches immediately to mitigate the significant risk posed by this flaw.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-47773
Affected Software: Power Multiple Products
Affected Versions: See vendor advisory for specific affected versions
Vulnerability: This vulnerability exists within a network-accessible component of the Dynojet Power Core 2 software. A flaw in the way the application handles user-supplied input allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send a specially crafted request to the affected system. Successful exploitation of this flaw could result in arbitrary code execution on the underlying server with the privileges of the application's service account, leading to a full system compromise.
Business Impact
This vulnerability is rated as High severity with a CVSS score of 7.8. Exploitation could have a significant negative impact on business operations. An attacker who successfully leverages this vulnerability could gain control over the affected system, allowing them to steal sensitive data (such as customer information or proprietary tuning files), install malware or ransomware, disrupt service availability, or use the compromised machine as a pivot point to attack other systems within the corporate network. This poses a direct risk to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Remediation Plan
Immediate Action: Apply the security updates released by the vendor immediately to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, system administrators should actively monitor for any signs of exploitation attempts and conduct a thorough review of relevant application and system access logs for any suspicious activity that occurred prior to patch application.
Proactive Monitoring: Monitor network traffic for unusual connections or malformed packets targeting the ports used by the Dynojet Power Core 2 software. Review application logs for unexpected errors or crashes, and system logs for suspicious processes being spawned by the application. Implement Intrusion Detection System (IDS) signatures to detect and alert on traffic patterns matching potential exploit attempts.
Compensating Controls: If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the vulnerable services using a host-based or network firewall. Limit access to only trusted IP addresses or internal network segments to reduce the attack surface. Consider running the application in an isolated or containerized environment to limit the impact of a potential compromise.
Exploitation Status
Public Exploit Available: false
Analyst Notes: As of January 16, 2026, there are no known public exploits or active exploitation campaigns targeting this vulnerability. However, due to the high severity rating and the potential for remote code execution, it is highly probable that threat actors will analyze the patch and develop a working exploit in the near future.
Analyst Recommendation
Given the high severity (CVSS 7.8) of this vulnerability and its potential for remote code execution, we strongly recommend that all organizations using the affected Power products apply the vendor-supplied patches on an emergency basis. Although this vulnerability is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog, its severity makes it a prime target for future exploitation. Prioritize patching systems that are accessible from less trusted networks and follow the provided monitoring guidance to ensure the security of your environment.
