Zyxel · P660HN-T1A Routers

CVSS 9.8 EPSS 95% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 28 August 2023

What it is

Zyxel P660HN-T1A routers contain a command injection vulnerability in the Remote System Log forwarding function, which is accessible by an unauthenticated user and exploited via the remote_host parameter of the ViewLog.asp page.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 95%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2023-08-28) has passed
  • CVSS 9.8 critical
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
