Zyxel DSL CPE Devices < 1.00 — RCE
Multiple Zyxel DSL CPE devices contain a post-authentication command injection vulnerability in the management commands that could allow an authenticated attacker to execute OS commands via Telnet.
A remote attacker, with a low-privilege account, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2025-03-04 under CISA BOD 22-01.
