MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires authenticated access to the LT300 web management interface (CVSS PR:L - a valid low-privileged account, not necessarily full admin) plus network reachability to that interface; no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). The concrete prerequisite is the ability to submit a crafted POST to the system time configuration endpoint with shell metacharacters in the cbid.system.ntp.current parameter. Limiting factors: the attacker must first obtain working credentials and the management interface must be reachable, so a router whose web UI is confined to the LAN and protected by strong unique passwords is substantially harder to exploit; only LT300 3.0 firmware versions prior to 2.5.12 are affected. |
| Impact | Signals are largely consistent and point to a genuinely high-impact but precondition-gated issue. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7 (High) with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N and VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, meaning network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation that requires authentication and grants complete system compromise. The PR:L requirement is the primary limiter: the attacker must already hold low-privileged web-UI credentials, so this is not a pre-auth internet-worm scenario by default - though weak/default/reused passwords and WAN-exposed management interfaces materially raise real-world risk. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was provided in the input, so exploitation probability and automatability cannot be quantified, and the absence of a KEV entry means there is no confirmation of active exploitation. No public PoC was referenced. The reporter (VulnCheck) is a credible vulnerability-intelligence source, which raises confidence the finding is real even though weaponization status is unknown. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained low-privileged web-UI credentials (for example via a default password, credential reuse, or an exposed management interface) logs into the LT300 console, opens the system time settings, and submits an NTP value such as a hostname followed by ;<command> in the cbid.system.ntp.current POST parameter. The injected command executes on the router OS, granting code execution and likely full device control. No public PoC was referenced, and CVSS AC:L/AT:N indicates the injection is straightforward once authenticated. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 26, 2026
Remote code execution in the Cudy LT300 3.0 4G LTE router (firmware before 2.5.12) lets authenticated users run arbitrary OS commands by embedding shell metacharacters in the cbid.system.ntp.current POST parameter of the system time (NTP) configuration page. Because the CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:L, an attacker needs valid (low-privileged) web credentials but no user interaction, and successful injection yields full host compromise (VC/VI/VA all High). No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the flaw was reported by VulnCheck and a vendor patch is available.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: firmware version 2.5.12 - upgrade all Cudy LT300 3.0 units to 2.5.12 or later via the official download center at https://www.cudy.com/en-us/pages/download-center/lt300-3-0, and consult the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cudy-lt300-os-command-injection-via-ntp-configuration. Until patching is complete, reduce exposure by ensuring the web management interface is not reachable from the WAN/internet and is restricted to trusted management hosts or a management VLAN (side effect: remote administration from outside the LAN is no longer possible), and by rotating any default or weak admin/operator credentials and enforcing strong unique passwords, since exploitation depends on holding a valid low-privileged account. Avoid shared low-privilege web accounts and monitor the system-time/NTP configuration for values containing shell metacharacters.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Cudy LT300 is an OpenWrt/LuCI-based 4G LTE SOHO router; the affected endpoint (cbid.system.ntp.current) is a LuCI UCI form field bound to the system NTP/time configuration. The root cause is CWE-78 (OS Command Injection): user-supplied NTP input is passed into a shell context - typically a system()-style or backtick invocation used to set or sync time - without neutralizing shell metacharacters such as ;, |, &, $() and backticks. The single affected build is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:shenzhen_cudy_technology_co.,_ltd.:lt300_3.0, i.e. the LT300 3.0 firmware line prior to 2.5.12. On these devices the web backend generally runs as root, so injected commands inherit root privileges.

DescriptionCVE.org
Cudy LT300 3.0 running firmware prior to version 2.5.12 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by injecting shell metacharacters into the cbid.system.ntp.current POST parameter in the system time configuration interface. Attackers can submit malicious payloads through the NTP settings endpoint to achieve remote code execution on the underlying system.
Executive ViewAI
A remote code execution vulnerability in Cudy LT300 4G LTE routers (firmware before version 2.5.12) allows authenticated users with low-privilege web portal credentials to execute arbitrary commands and achieve full system compromise. Organizations using these routers for network connectivity face significant risk of operational disruption and potential lateral network attacks if router access credentials are obtained or compromised.

Attack Technique
OS command injection occurs when an application passes unsanitized user input directly into system shell commands.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
