Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV160, RV160W, RV260, RV260P, and RV260W VPN Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient user input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on an affected device using root-level privileges. Due to the nature of the vulnerability, only commands without parameters can be executed.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz de administración basada en web de los routers VPN Cisco Small Business versiones RV160, RV160W, RV260, RV260P y RV260W, podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el sistema operativo subyacente de un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a una insuficiente comprobación de la entrada del usuario. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de una petición diseñada a la interfaz de administración basada en la web. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en un dispositivo afectado usando privilegios de nivel de root. Debido a la naturaleza de la vulnerabilidad, sólo pueden ser ejecutados comandos sin parámetros
