CVE-2024-53942Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Root command execution via crafted Wi-Fi names

Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Mar 18, 2025

Command injection in NRadio N8-180 NROS-1.9.2.n3.c5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands as root. The radio configuration endpoint incorporates the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz name parameters into an OS command without neutralizing special elements that alter the intended command. The researcher describes authenticated access to the SSID fields, while CISA's assessment records no required privileges, leaving the authentication gate disputed.
