Root commands or restart via malformed HTTP fields
Published Jul 21, 2022 · Updated Nov 6, 2024
An input-validation flaw in Cisco RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W firmware allows remote authenticated users to run root commands. The web management interface insufficiently validates user fields in crafted HTTP requests, although Cisco does not identify this CVE's specific field or parsing operation. Valid Administrator credentials are required; the interface is always reachable from the LAN, while WAN access requires nondefault remote management.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
