Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires reaching the router's web management service and sending a crafted POST request to the module_get handler in /usr/local/lua/dev_sta/networkConnect.lua, which passes attacker-controlled input into an OS command. The CVSS PR:L metric indicates at least low-privileged authentication is needed, so the attacker must have a valid (or default/weak) session on the device's management interface; it is not an unauthenticated flaw. The primary limiting factors are this authentication requirement and network reachability of the management interface - exposure is substantially reduced when the web admin interface is not reachable from untrusted networks and default credentials have been changed. No user interaction is required (UI:N).

Impact

This is a genuinely actionable finding but likely of targeted rather than mass-exploitation concern. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring some authentication (PR:L), with full High impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with OS command injection (CWE-78) yielding device takeover. Publicly available exploit code raises the practical risk and lowers the bar for opportunistic attackers. However, signals partially conflict on reach: EPSS is only 2.76% (86th percentile - elevated but not high), and there is no CISA KEV listing, suggesting no confirmed widespread active exploitation despite the available POC. The PR:L requirement is a meaningful mitigant - an attacker needs at least low-privileged authenticated access (e.g., a valid/default user session on the router web interface) before reaching the vulnerable module_get handler. No SSVC decision data was provided in the input, so automatable/exploitation status under that framework cannot be stated. Net: treat as a high-priority patch target for anyone running the affected Ruijie firmware, especially where the management interface is network-exposed or default credentials are in use, but the absence of KEV and modest EPSS argue against assuming indiscriminate internet-wide exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with low-privileged authenticated access to the Ruijie X30 PRO web management interface sends a crafted POST request to the module_get function in /usr/local/lua/dev_sta/networkConnect.lua, injecting shell metacharacters into an unsanitized parameter. The injected OS commands execute on the router with the web service's privileges, giving the attacker control over the device. Publicly available exploit code exists, further lowering the effort required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026

Authenticated OS command injection in Ruijie X30 Pro (firmware X30-PRO-V1_09241521) and RG-EW300T router firmware lets an attacker with a valid management session execute arbitrary OS commands on the device via a crafted POST request to the module_get handler. Publicly available exploit code exists, though there is no evidence of confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing). EPSS is 2.76% (86th percentile), suggesting elevated but not mass-exploitation risk; the CVSS vector indicates at least low-privileged authentication (PR:L) is required and user interaction is not.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so the primary action is to check Ruijie's official security advisories and firmware download pages for an updated X30 Pro / RG-EW300T image and apply it as soon as one is published. Until then, apply compensating controls: immediately change default administrative credentials and enforce strong unique passwords, since exploitation requires a valid or default session (PR:L); disable remote/WAN-side management and restrict the web admin interface to a trusted management VLAN or local admin network (or block its TCP port at the perimeter) to remove the network reachability the AV:N metric depends on; and, where the interface cannot be fully isolated, limit access to known administrator IPs via firewall rules. Note the trade-offs: disabling remote management prevents off-site administration, and firewall restriction of the web UI may interfere with legitimate management tooling. Given publicly available exploit code, monitor device logs for suspicious POST requests to the module_get handler and treat any command output/exfiltration as a potential compromise requiring firmware reflash and credential rotation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-78 (OS Command Injection): the device's Lua-based management component, specifically the module_get handler in /usr/local/lua/dev_sta/networkConnect.lua, passes attacker-controlled input from an HTTP POST request directly into a shell/OS command without adequate sanitization. Because the component runs on the router firmware with the privileges of the web management service, successful injection yields command execution in the device context (CVSS C:H/I:H/A:H). The affected CPE strings identify Ruijie X30 Pro firmware and RG-EW300T firmware, indicating the vulnerable code is shared across multiple Ruijie router models. The CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U vector confirms the attack is network-reachable and low-complexity but requires at least low-privileged authentication, so the web management interface must be reachable and the attacker must hold a valid (or default/weak) session. No user interaction is needed for exploitation.

DescriptionCVE.org

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Ruijie X30 PRO V1 X30-PRO-V1_09241521 allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted POST request to the module_get in file /usr/local/lua/dev_sta/networkConnect.lua.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Ruijie X30 Pro and RG-EW300T routers are affected by an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-56092) that allows attackers with a valid management session to execute arbitrary commands. Publicly available exploit code exists, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. This poses a high risk to organizations relying on these devices, as successful exploitation could lead to full device compromise and network breach; leadership should prioritize inventorying affected devices and enforcing strict access controls.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor patch is available; interim mitigations include restricting management interface access to trusted networks, enforcing strong authentication, monitoring for malicious POST requests to the module_get handler, and isolating affected devices through network segmentation.
