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: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
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.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), OffSeq Mirage (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-48455, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Restrict administrative access to the router’s management interface by limiting it to trusted IP addresses or internal networks using access control lists or firewall rules. 2) Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and regularly update administrative credentials to prevent unauthorized access. 3) Monitor network traffic for unusual access patterns to the skk_get.cgi component or related management endpoints. 4) Disable remote management features if not required, reducing exposure to external attackers. 5) Stay informed of vendor advisories and apply firmware updates promptly once patches addressing this vulnerability are released. 6) Conduct periodic security audits of router configurations to ensure no sensitive information is unnecessarily exposed via web interfaces. 7) Segment network infrastructure to isolate critical devices and limit the impact of potential information disclosure. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, monitoring, and proactive patch management tailored to the affected Netis routers.

Description

An issue in Netis Wifi6 Router NX10 2.0.1.3643 and 2.0.1.3582 and Netis Wifi 11AC Router NC65 3.0.0.3749 and Netis Wifi 11AC Router NC63 3.0.0.3327 and 3.0.0.3503 and Netis Wifi 11AC Router NC21 3.0.0.3800, 3.0.0.3500 and 3.0.0.3329 and Netis Wifi Router MW5360 1.0.1.3442 and 1.0.1.3031 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the mode_name, wl_link parameters of the skk_get.cgi component.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-48455 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from affected Netis routers. While the vulnerability does not allow direct control or disruption of the device, leaked information could facilitate further attacks such as credential theft, network reconnaissance, or targeted exploitation of other vulnerabilities. Organizations relying on these routers for critical network infrastructure may face increased risk of lateral movement or data breaches if attackers leverage disclosed information. The requirement for authenticated access reduces the likelihood of exploitation by external attackers but does not eliminate risks from insider threats or compromised credentials. The low CVSS score reflects limited impact, but in environments where these routers manage sensitive or critical networks, even minor information leaks can have cascading effects. The absence of known exploits suggests limited current threat but does not preclude future exploitation once details become more widely known.
