CVE-2024-56839Network attack vector

Administrator-to-root code execution via VRF injection

Published Dec 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 13, 2026

Code injection in Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROX devices before 2.17.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code as root. The VRF configuration path passes unneutralized input to a downstream component, allowing code-significant elements to be interpreted. Administrative privileges and an enabled VRF configuration are required; successful exploitation gives root control of the device operating system.
