DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in TRENDnet TEW-823DRU 1.1.02b01. This vulnerability affects the function nvram_get of the component CLI Configuration Tool. This manipulation causes command injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in TRENDnet TEW-823DRU firmware 1.1.02b01 allows a remote, authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary OS commands through the nvram_get function in the CLI Configuration Tool. Exploitation requires high-privilege credentials (PR:H per CVSS 4.0), limiting the attacker pool to those who have obtained administrative access. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain admin credentials via default password or credential stuffing
Delivery
Access CLI Configuration Tool over network
Exploit
Submit crafted NVRAM parameter containing shell metacharacters
Execution
nvram_get passes unsanitized input to OS command interpreter
Impact
Execute arbitrary OS commands on router firmware

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires valid administrator-level (high-privilege) credentials on the target TEW-823DRU, as confirmed by PR:H in the CVSS 4.0 vector - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the available data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) accurately reflects a meaningful constraint: exploitation demands high-privilege administrator credentials (PR:H), which substantially narrows the realistic attacker pool compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has acquired administrator credentials to the TEW-823DRU - through default password reuse, credential stuffing against the management interface, or phishing the device owner - connects to the CLI Configuration Tool over the network and submits a crafted NVRAM parameter value containing shell metacharacters. The nvram_get function passes the unsanitized input directly to the underlying OS command interpreter, executing arbitrary commands with router firmware privileges. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the provided references contain only researcher disclosures via VulDB and a public GitHub proof-of-concept, with no TRENDnet security advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
