Unauthenticated network command injection (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L) yielding root gives full C/I/A impact; scope unchanged as the OS is the vulnerable component itself.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
MSI Radix AXE6600 router firmware version v781521 contains a command injection vulnerability in the porTrigger 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
Remote code execution in the MSI Radix AXE6600 Wi-Fi 6E gaming router (firmware v781521) lets unauthenticated network attackers inject arbitrary OS commands via the porTrigger function, reachable through the alg function, and obtain root on the device. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact), reflecting trivial network exploitation. The flaw was reported by VulnCheck; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the firmware of an MSI Radix AXE6600 consumer/prosumer tri-band router, specifically the web/management backend handling port-triggering (porTrigger) and application-layer gateway (alg) functionality. CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command) is the root cause: user-controllable input handled by the porTrigger routine is passed into a shell/system call without adequate sanitization, so shell metacharacters are interpreted rather than treated as data. Because embedded router services typically run as root, injected commands execute with full system privileges. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:msi:radix_axe6600:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the product but does not bound versions precisely; the description pins the vulnerable build to firmware v781521.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: update to the fixed firmware published on the MSI Radix AXE6600 support page at https://us.msi.com/Networking/RadiX-AXE6600-WiFi-6E-Tri-Band-Gaming-Router/support (an exact fixed version number was not provided in the input and should be taken from that page); the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/msi-radix-axe6600-v781521-command-injection-via-portrigger-function documents the issue. Until patched, restrict access to the router's management/web interface so the porTrigger and alg endpoints are not reachable from the WAN or untrusted networks - disable any remote/WAN administration setting (trade-off: loses off-LAN management), and where feasible disable port triggering and ALG features that expose the vulnerable code path (trade-off: may break applications relying on dynamic port forwarding or ALG traversal). Place the device behind a segmented VLAN or upstream firewall limiting who can reach its admin services, and monitor for anomalous outbound connections indicative of post-exploit activity.
