DescriptionCVE.org

MSI Radix AXE6600 router firmware version v781521 contains a command injection vulnerability in the alg function that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability through the alg function to execute malicious commands and obtain root privileges on the underlying system.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in the MSI Radix AXE6600 WiFi 6E gaming router (firmware v781521) allows remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands via the router's 'alg' (application-layer gateway) function, yielding full root privileges on the device. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3 (Critical) with a fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity vector, and a vendor patch is available; however, no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a classic OS command injection (CWE-78): attacker-controlled input reaches an underlying shell/system call within the router's 'alg' function without proper neutralization of shell metacharacters. ALG (Application-Layer Gateway) components in consumer routers typically inspect and rewrite traffic for protocols such as SIP, FTP, or PPTP that embed IP/port information in their payloads; if such a handler passes untrusted values into a system() or popen()-style call (common on embedded BusyBox/Linux firmware running services as root), an attacker can append or substitute arbitrary commands. The affected component is identified in the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:msi:radix_axe6600:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and is confirmed to the specific firmware build v781521.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the latest firmware for the Radix AXE6600 from the MSI support page (https://us.msi.com/Networking/RadiX-AXE6600-WiFi-6E-Tri-Band-Gaming-Router/support); an exact fixed firmware version was not stated in the provided data, so verify the specific patched build on that page and against the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/msi-radix-axe6600-v781521-command-injection-via-alg-function) before deployment. Until patched, disable remote/WAN management so the administrative and ALG services are not reachable from the internet (trade-off: loss of off-network administration), and disable the ALG feature(s) in the router settings if the exploited handler can be turned off (trade-off: some NAT-traversal protocols such as SIP/FTP/PPTP passthrough may break). Additionally restrict access to the device's management and service interfaces to trusted LAN hosts and segment the router's admin plane away from untrusted or guest networks.
