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

Authenticated remote command execution and DoS in Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W routers due to insufficient input validation.
Vulnerability
The web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W routers contains multiple vulnerabilities that allow authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS). The flaws stem from insufficient validation of user-supplied fields within incoming HTTP packets [1]. Affected devices include RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall, RV130 Wireless-N VPN Router, RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router [1].
Exploitation
An attacker must have valid Administrator credentials for the affected device and send a crafted HTTP request to the web-based management interface. The interface is accessible via LAN (always enabled) or WAN if the remote management feature is turned on (disabled by default) [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root-level privileges on the device, leading to full compromise, or to cause the device to restart unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition [1].
Mitigation
Cisco has not released software updates to address these vulnerabilities as of the publication date (2022-07-21). No workarounds are available that would mitigate the flaws [1].
