CVE-2026-75775: ASUS router command injection in factory-default state

CVE-2026-75775 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-23

A command injection vulnerability in certain ASUS routers allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root-level privileges when the device is in its factory-default state. An attacker can exploit this through crafted parameters sent to the router, potentially gaining complete control of the device and the network it protects.

Technologies: ASUS Router. Vendors: ASUS.
