CVE-2024-41720

Authenticated OS command execution via misassigned resource permissions

Published Aug 5, 2024 · Updated Mar 17, 2025

Incorrect resource permissions in ZEXELON ZWX-2000CSW2-HN firmware before 0.3.15 allow remote authenticated users to execute OS commands. The vendor identifies misassigned access rights on a critical resource but does not disclose the resource, permission operation, or command-execution path. Exploitation requires authenticated access from an adjacent network and permits arbitrary OS-command execution, including device-configuration changes.
