RCE in Cisco RV110W/RV130W/RV215W Web Management Interface

IdentifiersCVE-2019-1663CWE-20

CVE-2019-1663 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall, Cisco RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied data in the web interface, allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to send crafted HTTP requests that result in arbitrary code execution on the underlying operating system as a high-privilege user. Affected versions are RV110W prior to 1.2.2.1, RV130W prior to 1.0.3.45, and RV215W prior to 1.3.1.1.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with high privileges on the affected device, leading to full compromise of the device, potential lateral movement, persistent access, and use in botnets such as RondoDox.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict access to the web-based management interface to trusted networks only. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to prevent exposure of management interfaces to the internet. Monitor for abnormal HTTP traffic to the device and apply virtual patching or IPS signatures where available.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade to fixed firmware versions: RV110W 1.2.2.1 or later, RV130W 1.0.3.45 or later, and RV215W 1.3.1.1 or later. Disable the web-based management interface from untrusted networks if patching is not immediately possible.

cve-2019-1663MaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository provides a working exploit for CVE-2019-1663, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Cisco RV110W, RV130W, and RV215W routers. The exploit (exploit-cve-2019-1663.py) is a Python script that crafts a malicious HTTP POST request to the router's web management interface, triggering a stack-based buffer overflow and leveraging ROP gadgets to execute arbitrary commands. The payload establishes a reverse shell using telnet, redirecting input and output over TCP ports 4444 and 4445. The accompanying rev_shell.py script acts as a listener, handling bidirectional communication with the compromised device. The repository is well-documented, with a README explaining the vulnerability, exploitation process, and repository structure. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to adjust certain offsets for different firmware versions. No hardcoded IP addresses are present; the user must specify the target router's management interface. The code is intended for educational and authorized testing purposes only.

CVE-2019-1663-Binary-AnalysisMaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2019-1663, a buffer overflow vulnerability in the web management interface of certain Cisco routers (notably RV320/RV325). The exploit is implemented in Python (exploit.py) and is designed to achieve remote code execution by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the /login.cgi endpoint of a vulnerable device. The payload leverages ROP gadgets and the system() function to execute an arbitrary shell command provided by the attacker. The README.md provides a detailed binary analysis of the vulnerability, including the root cause (improper use of strcpy), exploitation context, and relevant ROP gadgets. The exploit requires the attacker to know the target's IP address and have network access to the web management interface. The code is operational and demonstrates the full exploitation process, from payload construction to command execution.
