CVE-2026-126953 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 9.2 (critical) and affects TR3000 1.0; fixed in 2.5.42.

## Summary

The Cudy TR3000 has an OS command injection flaw in how it handles TR-098 usernames, which lets a malicious or compromised ACS run commands as root. An attacker can reach it remotely over the network, without logging in, by sending a SetParameterValues request with shell metacharacters in the username value.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Anyone running Cudy TR3000 1.0 firmware before 2.5.42, or managing these routers through a TR-098 ACS.

## Affected

- Shenzhen Cudy Technology Co., Ltd. TR3000 1.0: fixed in 2.5.42

## Description

Cudy TR3000 before 2.5.42 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows a malicious or compromised ACS to execute commands as root by supplying an unvalidated InternetGatewayDevice.User.{i}.Username value. Attackers can send a SetParameterValues request with shell metacharacters that set_UserUsername() in obuspa_system.lua passes to os.execute(), gaining root command execution.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Shenzhen Cudy Technology Co., Ltd. TR3000 1.0, upgrade to a fixed version (2.5.42) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-126953 (Cudy TR3000 before 2.5.42 OS Command Injection via TR-098 User Username), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126953 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- Shenzhen Cudy Technology Co., Ltd. TR3000 1.0: fixed in 2.5.42
Fixed versions: 2.5.42.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Cudy TR3000 firmware before 2.5.42 (TR3000 1.0). (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cudy-tr3000-before-2.5.42-os-command-injection-via-tr-098-user-username)
- The device is managed by an ACS that sends SetParameterValues requests (TR-098 User Username parameter). (source: https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/cudy-tr3000-before-2.5.42-os-command-injection-via-tr-098-user-username)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, no login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126953 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126953 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
