Impact

Netcore NR255-V version 1.5.130703 contains an OS command argument injection flaw in several tcpdump launch paths such as ntools_start_set_cgi, ntools_tcpdump_start_set_cgi, exe_default, and ntools_proc. By injecting crafted arguments into these routines, an attacker can manipulate the system commands that the device executes, potentially allowing arbitrary command execution on the device.

Affected Systems

Netcore NR255-V routers running firmware version 1.5.130703 are affected. The vulnerable components include the Nettools tcpdump launch paths mentioned above.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity impact. With an EPSS score of less than 1%, the likelihood of exploitation is currently low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. However, the attack is inferred to be possible through the router’s web interface (CGI) components, which, if accessible to an attacker, could lead to remote command execution. The combination of high severity and low exploitation probability still warrants prompt attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑issued firmware update that fixes the command injection issue.
  • If a patch is unavailable, disable the affected Nettools tcpdump launch paths or restrict access to the web interface components that process CLI arguments.
  • Implement network segmentation and access controls so that only trusted devices can communicate with the router’s management interface.
  • Enable logging and monitor for anomalous command executions or unusual traffic patterns.
