CVE-2024-52781Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via traceroute endpoint

Published Nov 29, 2024 · Updated Nov 29, 2024

Command execution in Digital China Networks DCME gateway firmware allows remote attackers to run arbitrary code via traceroute.php. The public record identifies /function/system/tool/traceroute.php but does not disclose which request parameter reaches an operating-system command or how input is handled. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation grants code execution on the gateway appliance.
