Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-25360, organizations should first identify and inventory all Motorola CX2L routers running firmware version 1.0.1 within their networks. Network segmentation should be employed to isolate these devices from untrusted networks, reducing exposure to remote attackers. Monitoring network traffic for unusual or crafted HTTP requests targeting the router's web interface IP can help detect exploitation attempts. Access controls should be tightened on management interfaces, restricting access to trusted IP addresses only. Additionally, consider disabling or restricting access to any hidden or undocumented interfaces if configurable. Employing intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures for this vulnerability, once available, can provide further protection. Finally, maintain vigilance for any updates or advisories from Motorola and apply patches promptly when released.

Description

A hidden interface in Motorola CX2L Router firmware v1.0.1 leaks information regarding the SystemWizardStatus component via sending a crafted request to device_web_ip.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-25360 is the unauthorized disclosure of system information related to the SystemWizardStatus component of the Motorola CX2L Router. While this does not directly compromise the integrity or availability of the device, the leaked information could provide attackers with valuable insights into the router's configuration or operational status. Such reconnaissance data can be used to tailor further attacks, including exploitation of other vulnerabilities or bypassing security controls. For organizations relying on these routers, especially in critical network infrastructure or sensitive environments, this vulnerability increases the attack surface and risk profile. Although no active exploits are reported, the ease of remote exploitation without authentication means that attackers can scan and target vulnerable devices opportunistically. This could lead to increased targeted attacks or automated scanning campaigns. The lack of a patch currently leaves affected devices exposed, emphasizing the need for interim mitigations.
