CVE-2019-7256Linear eMerge E3 — door controllers that run any command

The Linear eMerge E3 access control units take commands straight from a request, with no login in the way. Exploit code is public, and these devices sit on building networks where nobody watches them.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Take these controllers off any network reachable from outside, then apply the vendor firmware that closes the injection. Where no fix exists for the model, replace the unit.
