DescriptionCVE.org

TR1200 v2.4.15, TR3000 v2.4.21, WR300 v2.4.25, WR1200 v2.4.23, WR1300 v2.4.22, WR1500 v2.3.10, WR3000 v2.4.19, WR3600 v2.3.16, and WR6500 v2.3.15 were discovered to contain a command injection vulnerability in the system.setclock interface. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root via a crafted input.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in Cudy's OpenWRT-based router firmware allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root through the system.setclock interface, affecting multiple TR- and WR-series models (TR1200 v2.4.15, TR3000 v2.4.21, WR300 v2.4.25, WR1200 v2.4.23, WR1300 v2.4.22, WR1500 v2.3.10, WR3000 v2.4.19, WR3600 v2.3.16, WR6500 v2.3.15). The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates unauthenticated network-based exploitation with total system compromise, and CISA's SSVC framework rates it Automatable with Total technical impact. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV; EPSS is modest at 1.21% (65th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The affected devices are Cudy consumer/SOHO networking products (travel routers and Wi-Fi routers) that run a Linux/OpenWRT-derived firmware exposing a web/management backend. The flaw is a CWE-77 Command Injection in the system.setclock handler - a routine intended to set the device clock - where user-supplied input (likely a time/date or NTP parameter) is passed unsanitized into a shell command executed by the underlying OS. Because the management daemon runs with root privileges, injected shell metacharacters lead directly to arbitrary command execution as root. The CPE string provided (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*) is a placeholder/'n/a' and does not enumerate the specific products, so version scoping must be taken from the CVE description and vendor advisory rather than NVD's CPE data.

RemediationAI

Apply the fixed firmware for each affected model as published in Cudy security advisory cudy-sa-26-7-aihgtk (https://www.cudy.com/pages/security-advisory/cudy-sa-26-7-aihgtk); the input data does not enumerate exact patched build numbers, so no vendor-released fix version can be independently confirmed here - consult the advisory for the corrected firmware per model and flash the latest available. As compensating controls until patched: disable remote/WAN management so the setclock interface is not reachable from the internet (trade-off: administrators lose off-LAN management); restrict access to the router management UI to trusted management VLANs or specific admin IPs via firewall/ACL (trade-off: requires network segmentation); and disable any automatic NTP/clock-sync feature that feeds the setclock handler if operationally acceptable (trade-off: device time may drift, affecting logging and TLS validation). Do not expose the device web interface to untrusted networks.
