Impact
A command injection flaw exists in the Ziroom ZHOME A0101 smart home gateway firmware 1.0.1.0, specifically the /api/ZRnetwork/ping endpoint. The endpoint accepts a URL parameter that is passed directly to the system shell, enabling an attacker to craft a malicious URL that causes arbitrary shell commands to run. The flaw can lead to full compromise of the device and any network that the gateway controls. The weakness covers improper input neutralization (CWE‑74) and direct command injection (CWE‑77).
Affected Systems
Only the Ziroom ZHOME A0101 model running firmware 1.0.1.0 is known to be affected. The device exposes the vulnerable API over HTTP. The description does not mention authentication requirements, so the endpoint can be reached by any host that can send HTTP traffic to the device.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.4 places the vulnerability in the Critical range, indicating a catastrophic impact if exploited. An EPSS score of 2% shows a low but nonzero likelihood of real‑world attacks. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its remote nature and ability to execute arbitrary code warrant urgent attention. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the /api/ZRnetwork/ping endpoint, which will cause the device to execute the supplied shell command.
