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: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Detectable: evidence found.
nuclei template: ipTIME A2004 - Unauthorized Access
Weaponised: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-54764, organizations should first check for firmware updates from ipTIME and apply any patches addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. In the absence of official patches, network administrators should restrict access to the router’s management interfaces by implementing network segmentation and firewall rules that limit access to trusted IP addresses only. Disabling remote management features or changing default management ports can reduce exposure. Monitoring network traffic for unusual requests to /login/hostinfo2.cgi can help detect exploitation attempts. Additionally, consider deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures targeting this vulnerability. Educating users about the risks of using vulnerable routers and encouraging replacement with devices from vendors with stronger security track records may be warranted for high-risk environments.

Description

An access control issue in the component /login/hostinfo2.cgi of ipTIME A2004 v12.17.0 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information without authentication.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-54764 is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from affected ipTIME A2004 routers. This can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of network configurations and device status data, potentially enabling attackers to map network topology, identify vulnerabilities, or craft targeted attacks. While availability is not directly impacted, the information leak could be a stepping stone for more severe attacks such as privilege escalation or network intrusion. Organizations relying on these routers, especially in small office or home office environments, may face increased risk of network compromise. The vulnerability could also undermine trust in network security and lead to compliance issues if sensitive data is exposed. Since no authentication or user interaction is required, the attack surface is broad, increasing the likelihood of exploitation in unprotected networks.
