Hackers exploit critical unpatched flaw in Zyxel CPE devices
Hackers are exploiting a critical command injection vulnerability in Zyxel CPE Series devices that is currently tracked as CVE-2024-40891 and remains unpatched since last July. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands using the ‘supervisor’ or ‘zyuser’ service accounts. Vulnerability intelligence company VulnCheck added the security issue to its database last year on July 12 and […]
Vulnerable Moxa devices expose industrial networks to attacks
Industrial networking and communications provider Moxa is warning of a high-severity and a critical vulnerability that impact various models of its cellular routers, secure routers, and network security appliances. The two seurity issues allow remote attackers to get root privileges on vulnerable devices and to execute arbitrary commands, which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Risks […]
Hackers exploit Four-Faith router flaw to open reverse shells
Threat actors are exploiting a post-authentication remote command injection vulnerability in Four-Faith routers tracked as CVE-2024-12856 to open reverse shells back to the attackers. The malicious activity was discovered by VulnCheck, who informed Four-Faith about the active exploitation on December 20, 2024. However, it is unclear if security updates for the vulnerability are currently available. […]
OpenWrt Sysupgrade flaw let hackers push malicious firmware images
A flaw in OpenWrt’s Attended Sysupgrade feature used to build custom, on-demand firmware images could have allowed for the distribution of malicious firmware packages. OpenWrt is a highly customizable, open-source, Linux-based operating system designed for embedded devices, particularly network devices like routers, access points, and other IoT hardware.

Critical bug in EoL D-Link NAS devices now exploited in attacks
Attackers now target a critical severity vulnerability with publicly available exploit code that affects multiple models of end-of-life D-Link network-attached storage (NAS) devices. Tracked as CVE-2024-10914, the command injection vulnerability was found by security researcher Netsecfish, who also shared exploitation details and said that unauthenticated attackers could exploit it to inject arbitrary shell commands by sending […]
D-Link won’t fix critical bug in 60,000 exposed EoL modems
Tens of thousands of exposed D-Link routers that have reached their end-of-life are vulnerable to a critical security issue that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to change any user’s password and take complete control of the device. The vulnerability was discovered in the D-Link DSL6740C modem by security researcher Chaio-Lin Yu (Steven Meow), who reported it to Taiwan’s […]
D-Link won’t fix critical flaw affecting 60,000 older NAS devices
More than 60,000 D-Link network-attached storage devices that have reached end-of-life are vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability with a publicly available exploit.
