Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers Management Interface Command Injection Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability

Multiple command injection vulnerabilities exist in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W routers. The vulnerabilities are due to improper validation of user-supplied input. All firmware versions are affected as no patches have been released [1].

Exploitation

An attacker must have valid administrator credentials and network access to the device's web-based management interface. The interface is available via LAN or WAN if remote management is enabled (disabled by default). The attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by sending crafted HTTP requests to the targeted device [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the underlying operating system. This results in complete compromise of the device, including full control over its functions and data [1].

Mitigation

Cisco has not released software updates to address these vulnerabilities, nor are there any available workarounds. As a temporary measure, users should disable remote management if enabled and restrict access to the management interface to trusted networks [1].
