GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

VAR-201807-0054

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2024-11-23 22:00

A command injection vulnerability exists in apply.cgi on the ASUS RP-AC52 access point, firmware version 1.0.1.1s and possibly earlier, web interface specifically in the action_script parameter. The action_script parameter specifies a script to be executed if the action_mode parameter does not contain a valid state. If the input provided by action_script does not match one of the hard coded options, then it will be executed as the argument of either a system() or an eval() call allowing arbitrary commands to be executed. ASUS RP-AC52 Access Point is prone to the following multiple security issues: 1. Cross-site request-forgery vulnerability 2. A command-injection vulnerability An attacker may leverage these issues to perform certain unauthorized actions and gain access to the affected application or execute commands in the context of the affected application. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands
