CVE-2024-47133: OS Command Injection

With a CVSS score of 7.2, this vulnerability permits a logged-in user with administrative permissions to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the device.

CVE-2024-52564: Inclusion of Undocumented Features

This vulnerability, scoring 7.5 on the CVSS scale, allows remote attackers to disable firewall protections, execute arbitrary commands, and alter device configurations without the need for authentication.

The presence of undocumented features makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous, as it can lead to extensive unauthorized control over the router.

According to the JVN report, exploiting these vulnerabilities can lead to serious repercussions for users, including unauthorized access, data theft, and loss of device control.

The potential for attackers to execute arbitrary commands and alter firewall settings elevates the risk of significant network breaches.
