CVE-2024-40890
Zyxel DSL CPE Devices
Multiple Zyxel DSL CPE devices contain a post-authentication command injection vulnerability in the CGI program that could allow an authenticated attacker to execute OS commands via a crafted HTTP request.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2025-03-04. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
The impacted product could be end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users should discontinue product utilization if a current mitigation is unavailable.
