MSI Radix AXE6600 router firmware version v781521 contains a command injection vulnerability in the macfilter function that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device. Attackers can exploit the macfilter function to inject malicious commands and obtain root privileges on the underlying system.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in the MSI Radix AXE6600 Wi-Fi 6E gaming router (firmware v781521) lets remote attackers inject shell commands through the router's macfilter function and gain root on the device. The flaw was reported by VulnCheck and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3, reflecting network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction exploitation with full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, though the low-complexity, unauthenticated nature makes weaponization straightforward.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a classic CWE-78 OS command injection in an embedded consumer/SOHO router. The macfilter feature is the MAC-address access-control list of the router's web/management interface; user-supplied MAC values (or associated parameters) are passed into an underlying shell command without adequate sanitization, so metacharacters such as ';', '|', '`', or '$()' break out of the intended command and are executed by the device's Linux shell. Because router firmware management daemons typically run as root, injected commands execute with root privileges. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:msi:radix_axe6600:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product, with firmware v781521 named in the description.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixed firmware from the MSI Radix AXE6600 support page at https://us.msi.com/Networking/RadiX-AXE6600-WiFi-6E-Tri-Band-Gaming-Router/support (an exact patched firmware version was not provided in the input and should be confirmed on that page); the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/msi-radix-axe6600-v781521-command-injection-via-macfilter provides technical detail. Until firmware is updated, restrict access to the router's administrative interface: disable any remote/WAN management so the web UI is not reachable from the internet (trade-off: loss of off-LAN administration), and place the management interface behind a firewall/ACL that limits it to a trusted management host or VLAN (trade-off: added operational overhead). Avoid using the MAC filter feature and change default administrative credentials to reduce the chance a remote attacker reaches the vulnerable macfilter endpoint, and monitor the device for unexpected outbound connections that could indicate botnet enrollment.
