CVE-2024-51244Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via doIPSec shell injection

Published Nov 1, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2024

OS command injection in DrayTek Vigor3900 firmware 1.5.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The doIPSec handler in mainfunction.cgi incorporates attacker-controlled request data into an operating-system command without neutralizing shell metacharacters. The attack requires low-privileged access to the router management interface and can alter the appliance by running attacker-chosen commands.
