Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions in the CVSS sense - the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, indicating remote unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction against the NWR100. The attacker must be able to reach the affected request-handling interface over the network, so exposure depends on whether the router's vulnerable service is reachable from the attacker's position (e.g., WAN-facing management versus LAN-only). The available sources describe the flaw only as 'sending a specially crafted request'; the exact interface, protocol, or parameter that carries the injected command is not described in the available sources. The primary limiting factor is network reachability of the affected device/service; affected scope is NWR100 at Rev.26.00.07 and earlier.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction and high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact to the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), scoring 9.3. The vuln.today decision label is act_now and the report originates from JPCERT/CC via JVN, which raises confidence in the finding's legitimacy. Signals are consistent rather than conflicting: an OS command injection (CWE-78) on a network-facing router with PR:N aligns with the act_now priority. However, some decision signals are absent from the input: no EPSS exploitation-probability score is provided, the vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit or PoC reference is present - so there is currently no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization. The urgency here rests on the act_now label plus the intrinsic severity of unauthenticated remote command execution on an edge device, not on observed exploitation. Treat as urgent to patch given the device class (an internet-facing router is a high-value target), while noting the absence of EPSS/KEV/PoC data means real-world exploitation frequency cannot be quantified from the provided sources.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a specially crafted request to the NWR100's management or service interface, injecting OS commands that the device executes with its own privileges. Because the router is a network edge device, successful exploitation can give the attacker a foothold to pivot into the internal network or disrupt connectivity. No public exploit code or PoC reference is present in the provided sources.

AnalysisAIv2 – Oct 29, 2026

OS command injection in Yamaha NWR100 wireless LAN routers (Rev.26.00.07 and earlier) lets remote unauthenticated attackers execute arbitrary OS commands by sending a specially crafted request to a reachable service. The issue is CWE-78 and carries a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.3 from the source, with the independent assessment confirming remote unauthenticated exploitation and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit code or CISA KEV active exploitation is identified in the available data; the vuln.today decision label is act_now, and the practical limiting factor is whether the affected request-handling interface is reachable from the attacker's position.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Oct 29, 2026 - 12:08 CVSS 9.8

OS command injection in the Yamaha NWR100 wireless LAN router lets network-reachable, unauthenticated attackers execute arbitrary OS commands on the device, scored CVSS 3.1 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. The CPE entry covers every NWR100 firmware version, so no fixed release is identifiable from the supplied data; JPCERT is the reporting source and the Yamaha and JVN advisories (JVNVU91027179) are the authoritative references. No public exploit code or PoC is identified at time of analysis and the issue is not KEV-listed, but the vuln.today decision label is act_now, so the practical question is whether the vulnerable request-handling interface is exposed beyond the LAN.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data. Consult the Yamaha advisory at https://www.rtpro.yamaha.co.jp/RT/FAQ/Security/JVNVU91027179.html and the JVN advisory at https://jvn.jp/en/vu/JVNVU91027179/ for the vendor's update and mitigation guidance. Until a fixed release is confirmed, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the affected request-handling interface to trusted sources, since the assessed vector requires the attacker to reach the vulnerable service over the network; trade-off: this can limit legitimate remote administration and is a compensating control rather than a fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The underlying technology is the Yamaha NWR100 wireless LAN router firmware; the CPE cpe:2.3:a:yamaha_corporation:nwr100:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the product family, and EUVD lists affected versions as NWR100 0 ≤ Rev.26.00.07. The root cause class is CWE-78 OS command injection, meaning input accepted by the device is used in an OS command without adequate neutralization. The provided sources state only that a specially crafted request can cause arbitrary OS command execution; the exact interface, protocol, or parameter that carries the injected command is not described in the available sources. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates network-reachable exploitation without authentication or user interaction, but reachability of the vulnerable service remains the deployment-dependent prerequisite.

Yamaha wireless LAN router NWR100 provided by Yamaha Corporation contains an OS command injection vulnerability. Arbitrary OS commands may be executed by sending a specially crafted request to the affected product.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Yamaha NWR100 wireless LAN routers (firmware Rev.26.00.07 and earlier) contain a critical remote command injection flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to fully compromise the device. Since no patch is currently available, any internet-facing or network-exposed instances represent an immediate, unmitigated risk of data breach, operational disruption, and use as a pivot point into the corporate network. Leadership should prioritize locating and isolating affected devices, as the business impact extends beyond the router itself to dependent services and network trust.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor patch identified. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to the device’s management and service interfaces using firewall rules or segmentation; disable remote management if not essential; monitor for suspicious outbound connections or command execution via IDS/IPS; isolate affected routers on a dedicated VLAN with minimal connectivity; plan for device replacement if exposure cannot be eliminated.
