What to do
AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately restrict access to the router's management interface to trusted administrators only, ideally via VPN or secure management networks. Implement strong authentication mechanisms and rotate credentials to prevent unauthorized access. Disable or restrict access to the vulnerable CGI endpoint (cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi) if possible. Monitor router logs for suspicious activity related to the doPPPoE function or unusual command execution. Employ network segmentation to limit the impact of a compromised router. Until an official patch is released, consider deploying host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) or network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) with custom signatures to detect exploitation attempts targeting the 'table' parameter. Engage with DrayTek support for firmware updates or workarounds. Regularly audit device configurations and firmware versions to ensure compliance with security best practices. Finally, prepare incident response plans to quickly isolate and remediate affected devices if exploitation is suspected.
Description
An authorized RCE vulnerability exists in the DrayTek Vigor2960 router version 1.4.4, where an attacker can place a malicious command into the table parameter of the doPPPoE function in the cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi route, and finally the command is executed by the system function.
