Executive brief
DrayTek VigorSwitch is a network switch used to manage and route data across enterprise networks. A command injection vulnerability in the web management interface allows authenticated administrators with valid credentials to execute arbitrary system commands with root-level privileges, potentially leading to complete device compromise and network disruption.
Technical details
The vulnerability is a command injection flaw (CWE-78) in the getDetail function of the VigorSwitch mainfunction.cgi component, caused by insufficient input validation on the username and password fields before command execution. The attack vector is network-based via the web management interface. Exploitation requires valid administrative credentials and network access to the device's web interface. An authenticated attacker can inject specially crafted input to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges on the affected appliance. Patches are available for all affected models via firmware updates.
