Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-472. Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV160, RV160W, RV260, RV260P, and RV260W VPN Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the root user on an affected device. These vulnerabilities exist because HTTP requests are not properly validated. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a crafted HTTP request to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code on the device. Affected products include: Cisco Rv160W Wireless-Ac Vpn Router Firmware, Cisco Rv260 Vpn Router Firmware, Cisco Rv260P Vpn Router With Poe Firmware, Cisco Rv260W Wireless-Ac Vpn Router Firmware, Cisco Rv160 Vpn Router Firmware.
