Cisco is advising owners of end-of-life Small Business RV routers to upgrade to newer models after revealing a remote code execution vulnerability that the company will no longer patch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-20825 with a CVSS severity rating of 9.8 out of 10.0.<\/span><\/p>\n

As per a Cisco security advisory, the flaw is due to insufficient user input validation of incoming HTTP packets on the affected devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

A hacker could exploit it by sending a specially crafted request to the web-based management interface, leading to command execution with root-level privileges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vulnerability affects four Small Business RV Series models, namely the RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall, the RV130 VPN Router, the RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and the RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router.<\/span><\/p>\n

This vulnerability only impacts devices with the web-based remote management interface enabled on WAN connections. While the remote management feature is disabled in the default configuration, brief searches using Shodan detected exposed devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

To find out if remote management is enabled, users must log in to the web-based management interface, navigate to \u201cBasic Settings > Remote Management,\u201d and verify the state of the relevant check box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cisco will not be releasing a security update to address CVE-2022-20825 as the devices are no longer supported. There will also be no mitigations available other than to turn off remote management on the WAN interface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Admins are urged to apply the configuration changes until they migrate to Cisco Small Business RV132W, RV160, or RV160W Routers, which the company actively supports.<\/span><\/p>\n
