Integrity: High
Availability: High

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: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 18 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
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 2026-10-26.

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

1. Immediately audit and restrict CLI service access on all Ruijie AP180-PE devices to trusted administrators only, employing strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication. 2. Monitor and log all CLI access attempts to detect suspicious activities indicative of credential compromise or unauthorized access. 3. Apply firmware updates or patches from Ruijie Networks as soon as they become available to remediate the vulnerability. 4. If patches are not yet available, consider isolating affected devices on segmented network zones with strict access controls to limit exposure. 5. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing focused on network infrastructure devices to identify and mitigate similar risks. 6. Educate network administrators on secure credential management and the risks of OS command injection vulnerabilities. 7. Implement network-level intrusion detection systems capable of identifying anomalous command execution patterns on network devices. 8. Review and harden device configurations to minimize attack surface, disabling unnecessary services and interfaces.

Description

RG - AP180, Indoor Wall Plate Wireless AP AP180 series provided by Ruijie Networks Co., Ltd.contain an OS command injection vulnerability. An arbitrary OS command may be executed on the product by an attacker who logs in to the CLI service.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability threatens the security and stability of wireless network infrastructure where Ruijie AP180-PE devices are deployed. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized command execution, allowing attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data, alter network configurations, or cause denial-of-service conditions. This can disrupt business operations, compromise user privacy, and potentially serve as a foothold for lateral movement within enterprise networks. Critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and telecommunications that rely on secure wireless access points are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for CLI login privileges reduces the risk from external attackers but raises concerns about insider threats or credential compromise. Given the increasing adoption of Ruijie networking equipment in Europe, especially in countries investing in advanced network infrastructure, the impact could be widespread if not addressed promptly.
