Impact
A flaw in the system.upgrade_check interface allows injection of arbitrary system commands that run with root privileges. This vulnerability provides attackers with full control over affected devices, enabling data theft, sabotage, or lateral movement in a network. The weakness corresponds to command injection, identified as CWE-77.
Affected Systems
Affected Cudy devices include TR1200 v2.4.15, TR3000 v2.4.21, WR300 v2.4.25, WR1200 v2.4.23, WR1300 v2.4.22, WR1500 v2.3.10, WR3000 v2.4.19, WR3600 v2.3.16, and WR6500 v2.3.15; all listed versions are susceptible.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.8 denotes a critical severity. EPSS is 3%, indicating a moderate likelihood of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no known active exploits yet. The likely attack vector is sending crafted input to the system.upgrade_check endpoint over the network; authentication requirements are not specified, implying potential unauthenticated access. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands as root, fully compromising the device.
