DescriptionCVE.org
A post‑authentication command injection vulnerability in the Dynamic DNS (DDNS) configuration CLI command in Zyxel ATP series firmware versions from V5.35 through V5.41, USG FLEX series firmware versions from V5.35 through V5.41, USG FLEX 50(W) series firmware versions from V5.35 through V5.41, and USG20(W)-VPN series firmware versions from V5.35 through V5.41 could allow an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to execute operating system (OS) commands on an affected device by supplying a specially crafted string as an argument to the CLI command.
Executive ViewAI
A command injection vulnerability in Zyxel network security appliances (ATP, USG FLEX, USG20-VPN series) allows authenticated administrators to execute unauthorized operating system commands. Organizations using affected firmware versions (V5.35-V5.41) face insider threat risk from compromised admin accounts, potentially enabling lateral movement, data exfiltration, or device takeover.
Disable Dynamic DNS (DDNS) CLI functionality if operationally feasible; implement strict role-based access control limiting administrator privileges to essential personnel only; enable command logging and behavioral monitoring on affected devices; deploy network segmentation to isolate affected appliances from sensitive systems; monitor CLI audit logs for suspicious command patterns; restrict CLI access to specific source IP addresses via firewall rules.
