Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the RG-BCR860 web management interface (CVSS PR:L) and the ability to reach that interface over the network; the specific trigger is a crafted POST request to the network_set_wan_conf endpoint implemented in /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/netport.lua. The limiting factors are the authentication requirement (a valid low-privilege credential or session is needed - this is not anonymous exploitation) and network reachability of the management interface, which should normally be restricted to trusted LAN/management segments. No end-user interaction is required (UI:N). Exploitation targets the specific affected firmware build 2.5.13-r2224.

Impact

This is a genuine elevated-priority issue for anyone operating the affected Ruijie RG-BCR860 router, though it stops short of worst-case 'remote unauthenticated' severity. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires some level of authentication (PR:L), so an attacker needs at least a low-privilege account or valid session on the web management interface - not pure anonymous access. Supporting signals align: a public exploit exists (POC=YES), and the EPSS score of 3.05% (87th percentile) is elevated relative to the CVE population, indicating above-average predicted exploitation likelihood despite not being extreme. The vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. No SSVC decision data was supplied in the input, so automatable/exploitation-status cannot be evaluated through that framework. Net: a high-impact (C:H/I:H/A:H, command injection yielding full device control), low-complexity flaw with a published POC and above-median EPSS, gated primarily by the PR:L authentication requirement - a real patch/mitigation priority for exposed devices, but the auth gate meaningfully limits mass-scanning exploitation compared to a PR:N flaw.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privilege authenticated session on the RG-BCR860 web interface sends a crafted POST request to the network_set_wan_conf handler, injecting shell metacharacters into a WAN configuration parameter. Because input is passed to an OS command without sanitization (CWE-78), the attacker executes arbitrary commands on the router, gaining full control of the device. A public proof-of-concept exists, lowering the skill barrier for reproduction.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

OS command injection in the Ruijie RG-BCR860 router firmware (build 2.5.13-r2224) lets attackers with a valid low-privilege session on the web management interface execute arbitrary OS commands on the device by sending a crafted POST request to the network_set_wan_conf endpoint. The flaw resides in the LuCI controller file /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/netport.lua and carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), meaning authentication is required but no user interaction is needed. Publicly available exploit code exists (EPSS 3.05%, percentile 87%), but there is no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation at time of analysis; the practical risk is highest where the router's management interface is exposed beyond a trusted LAN segment.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch status for CVE-2025-56111 is not confirmed in the available input data - no fixed firmware version is cited, so operators should check Ruijie's support portal for an updated RG-BCR860 firmware release and upgrade from 2.5.13-r2224 as soon as one is published. Until a fix is applied, the most effective compensating control is to restrict access to the router's web management interface: bind it to a dedicated management VLAN or trusted LAN segment, block internet-facing and WAN-side access to the LuCI HTTP/HTTPS ports with firewall rules, and avoid exposing the GUI through port-forwarding, UPnP, or remote-management features - this eliminates the network reachability required by the CVSS AV:N vector, though it may hinder legitimate remote administration. Additionally, enforce strong, unique credentials and apply least privilege on any management accounts, since exploitation requires a valid low-privilege session (PR:L); note that credential hygiene alone does not remove the injection flaw. Monitor device logs for anomalous POST requests to network_set_wan_conf and treat any unexpected shell activity on the router as a potential compromise indicator. The public proof-of-concept in the flegoity GitHub report (CVE-2025-56111.md) should be used only for verification on authorized systems.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected device is a Ruijie RG-BCR860 router running firmware 2.5.13-r2224, which uses the OpenWrt-derived LuCI web framework; the vulnerable logic lives in the Lua controller at /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/netport.lua. This maps to CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), meaning user-controlled input from the network_set_wan_conf POST handler is passed to a shell invocation without adequate sanitization or escaping, allowing injected shell metacharacters to be interpreted as OS commands. The CVSS vector confirms network reachability (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), a low-privilege prerequisite (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) - consistent with an authenticated attacker gaining full command execution on the embedded device.

DescriptionCVE.org

OS Command Injection vulnerability in Ruijie RG-BCR RG-BCR860 allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted POST request to the network_set_wan_conf in file /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/netport.lua.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity command injection flaw in the Ruijie RG-BCR860 router firmware (build 2.5.13-r2224) allows anyone holding a valid low-privilege web management login to run arbitrary operating system commands on the device, effectively handing them control of the hardware and any traffic it handles. Because no vendor patch is available and publicly available exploit code exists, any organization with these routers reachable outside a trusted LAN segment - remote offices, retail sites, or internet-exposed management interfaces - faces meaningful risk of a foothold that could be used to intercept or redirect network traffic. Leadership should treat affected units as untrusted until they are isolated or replaced, since the device itself cannot currently be hardened against this flaw.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict the web management interface to a trusted management VLAN or isolated admin network and block it from internet and broad-LAN access; remove unnecessary low-privilege accounts and rotate all management credentials; segment affected routers so a compromise cannot pivot into core networks; monitor and alert on POST requests to the network_set_wan_conf endpoint and on anomalous device outbound traffic; and plan replacement or upgrade to a supported model pending a vendor fix.
