Users should update the Rooxis RXR-12 router firmware to version 20260813_c2169ea5 or later, which removes the UDP listener responsible for the backdoor. The update can be applied through the router's local web interface. Applying this firmware update fully mitigates the vulnerability.
Description
The Rooxis RXR-12 Wi-Fi router contains an undocumented telnet backdoor daemon (/usr/bin/telnetd_startup) that can be triggered by a specially crafted AES-128-CBC encrypted magic packet using a static key and IV. This backdoor enables the telnet service with default credentials, granting remote root access. The vendor released firmware version 20260813_c2169ea5 which removes the UDP listener responsible for this backdoor, and users can update via the local web interface.
