Questions about CVE-2022-20708
What does this mean?
The web-based management interface of these routers fails to properly check input, which can let a remote party run arbitrary commands on the router's underlying Linux operating system.Source: sec.cloudapps.cisco.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Only Cisco RV340, RV340W, RV345 and RV345P Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Routers are listed as affected, and only when their web-based management interface is exposed. To check, look up the model on the router's label or in its admin interface and see whether the web management interface is reachable from outside the network.Source: sec.cloudapps.cisco.com
What should I do about it?
The facts provided do not name a fixed firmware release, so no upgrade target is confirmed here. Check Cisco's advisory for the fixed version and apply it when available.Source: sec.cloudapps.cisco.com
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-03-03, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
What if there's no patch?
Until a fix is available, limit access to the router's web-based management interface so it is not reachable from untrusted networks. Cisco's advisory is the source to check for any further workaround.Source: sec.cloudapps.cisco.com
