DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in Linksys RE7000 2.0.15. This affects the function platform_event_pingTest of the file /cgi-bin/json.cgi?PingTest of the component PingTest Handler. The manipulation of the argument pingTestIp/pingTestPktSize/pingTestTimes results in os command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in Linksys RE7000 firmware 2.0.15 allows authenticated low-privilege attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the device by manipulating the pingTestIp, pingTestPktSize, or pingTestTimes parameters of the PingTest CGI handler. The /cgi-bin/json.cgi?PingTest endpoint passes these parameters unsanitized to underlying shell commands, resulting in full device compromise and potential impact to adjacent network infrastructure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) network reachability to the RE7000 management interface - by default on the LAN segment (port 80/443); if remote management is enabled, potentially reachable from the WAN; (2) valid credentials with at minimum low-privilege access to the device web UI (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector - exploitation is NOT unauthenticated). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, SC:H/SI:H/SA:H, E:P) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity injection with public exploit code and full impact including scope change to subsequent systems such as LAN hosts. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis - the Linksys vendor page is referenced but no specific advisory or confirmed fix firmware version appears in the available intelligence. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Linksys RE7000 devices in your environment and identify those running firmware 2.0.15; immediately check for any suspicious device access or unusual network activity that could indicate exploitation attempts. …
