This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands using root -level privileges on the affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid Administrator -level credentials on the affected device. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-rv-cmd-exe-n47kJQLE Affected Products o Vulnerable Products At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected the following Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers if they were running a firmware release earlier than Release 1.0.01.04: RV160 VPN Routers RV160W Wireless-AC VPN Routers RV260 VPN Routers RV260P VPN Routers with PoE RV260W Wireless-AC VPN Routers See the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for the most complete and current information. Note: The web-based management interface for these routers is available through local LAN connections by default and cannot be disabled there. The interface can also be made available through the WAN interface by enabling the remote management feature. By default, the remote management feature is disabled on affected devices. Determine the Device Configuration To determine whether the remote management feature is enabled for a device, open the web-based management interface through a local LAN connection and choose Basic Settings > Remote Management . If the Enable box is checked, remote management is enabled for the device.
