DrayTek Multiple Vigor Routers OS Command Injection Vulnerability

DrayTek · Multiple Vigor Routers

CVSS 9.8 EPSS 85% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 21 October 2024

What it is

DrayTek Vigor3900, Vigor2960, and Vigor300B devices contain an OS command injection vulnerability in cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi/cvmcfgupload that allows for remote code execution via shell metacharacters in a filename when the text/x-python-script content type is used.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 85%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2024-10-21) 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.
