description

Tektronix 3 Series MDO devices running versions earlier than 1.21.1 are affected by command injection in a SCPI command handler. An attacker with the required access to the SCPI interface could execute operating-system commands with elevated privileges.

mitigation

Upgrade affected 3 Series MDO devices to version 1.21.1. Restrict access to SCPI services to trusted, authorized users until upgrades are complete.

fixed in 1.21.1
