Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers Remote Command Execution and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

CVE-2022-20894

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device or cause the device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user fields within incoming HTTP packets. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a crafted request to the web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on an affected device with root-level privileges or to cause the device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need to have valid Administrator credentials on the affected device. Cisco has not released software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Small Business RV series routers allow authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause DoS due to insufficient HTTP input validation.

Vulnerability

Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device or cause a denial of service (DoS). The affected devices include RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W running any software version. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user fields within incoming HTTP packets. [1]

Exploitation

An attacker would need valid Administrator credentials to exploit these vulnerabilities. The attacker can send a crafted request to the web-based management interface over a LAN connection (or WAN if remote management is enabled, which is disabled by default). Exploitation requires no user interaction. [1]

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root-level privileges, or cause the device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service condition. This gives the attacker full control over the device or disrupts its availability. [1]

Mitigation

Cisco has not released software updates that address these vulnerabilities, and there are no workarounds. Users should consider upgrading to a product that is not affected or disabling remote management if not needed. [1]
