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 an authenticated session on the router's web management console with administrator privileges (CVSS PR:H); the flaw is reached through a web-console function that passes attacker-supplied input to an OS shell (CWE-78). The primary limiting factor is the administrator-authentication requirement - this is not a pre-auth or unauthenticated bug, so real-world risk hinges on how the admin interface is protected (default/weak/reused credentials, management interface exposed to untrusted networks, or chaining from a separate auth-bypass). No user interaction beyond the attacker's own admin actions is needed (UI:N), and attack complexity is low (AC:L). Affected: firmware versions prior to v781521; updating to v781521 is the remediation per the vendor/JVN disclosure. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely high-impact but access-gated flaw whose signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N, VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) and the SSVC framework agree: Technical Impact is 'total' (OS command execution as root), but exploitation requires PR:H - the attacker must already be authenticated to the web console as an administrator. SSVC reports Exploitation: none and Automatable: no, and EPSS is modest at 1.79% (75th percentile), so there is no evidence of widespread or automated exploitation. The vuln.today priority of 'this_week' and JPCERT/JVN coordinated disclosure indicate a credible, vendor-acknowledged issue worth prompt patching, not an emergency. The key caveat: the high CVSS base score is driven by total impact, while the real-world gating factor is the administrator-credential prerequisite - an attacker who already holds admin web access converts that bounded control into full root OS control (privilege escalation / persistence beyond the intended management surface). This matters most where admin credentials are default, shared, weak, or reachable (e.g., exposed management interface, reused passwords, or chaining from another web-auth bypass). Treat as a 'patch this week' item, not a drop-everything network-exposed RCE. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained administrator access to the router's web console (via default/weak/reused credentials or a separate auth flaw) submits crafted input to a web-console function that passes it to an OS shell, injecting commands that run with root privilege. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and SSVC lists exploitation as none. Low attack complexity (AC:L) means that once admin access is held, triggering the injection is straightforward. |

OS command injection in MSI RadiX AX6600 WiFi 6 Tri-Band Gaming Router firmware prior to v781521 allows an authenticated web-console administrator to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges. The CVSS 3.1 assessment is AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, so the flaw is high-impact but gated behind administrator authentication. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis; CISA SSVC lists exploitation as none, and EPSS is 1.79% (75th percentile).
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
Authenticated OS command injection in MSI RadiX AX6600 WiFi 6 Tri-Band Gaming Router lets an administrator of the web console execute arbitrary operating system commands as root. The flaw was reported through JPCERT/JVN (JVN20769211) and carries a CVSS 3.0 score of 7.2; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: firmware v781521. Update the RadiX AX6600 to v781521 or later using the MSI support page (https://www.msi.com/Networking/RadiX-AX6600-WiFi-6-Tri-Band-Gaming-Router/support), with the JVN advisory (https://jvn.jp/en/jp/JVN20769211/) as the coordination reference. The available disclosure does not list a specific workaround; exploitation requires an authenticated administrator session on the web management console, so exposure depends on how that console is protected, but the complete fix identified in the sources is the v781521 firmware update.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-78 OS command injection in the router's web management interface: a web-console function passes attacker-supplied input into an OS shell, and because the console operates with administrative privileges, injected commands run as root. The exact endpoint, parameter, and injection syntax are not described in the available sources. The authoritative CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H confirms network reachability, low attack complexity, no user interaction beyond the attacker's own admin actions, and a high-privilege prerequisite; the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector likewise carries PR:H. The CPE identifies MSI's radix_ax6600_wifi_6_tri-band_gaming_router, and EUVD-2026-37553 plus JVN JVN20769211 track the affected firmware range.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
RadiX AX6600 WiFi 6 Tri-Band Gaming Router contains an OS command injection vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary command execution with the root privilege by a user who logs in to the web console as an administrator.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-53876 is a high-severity OS command injection vulnerability in the MSI RadiX AX6600 WiFi 6 Tri-Band Gaming Router, allowing an authenticated web-console administrator to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. This means that if an attacker gains administrative access-whether through credential theft, social engineering, or other means-they could fully compromise the router, leading to data breaches, network tampering, or service disruption. While exploitation requires admin credentials, the potential for lateral movement and impact on gaming performance or connected devices makes this a concern for organizational network security, particularly for teams using these routers in esports or remote setups.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include enforcing strict administrative access controls (strong passwords, MFA), network segmentation to limit exposure, and continuous monitoring for anomalous activity.
