Summary
Cudy TR3000 routers before 2.5.42 contain a flaw in how the OpenVPN key upload is handled, letting a logged-in administrator run commands as root by uploading a crafted key. The attack can be launched over the network, but it requires high-privilege login first.
Original description
Cudy TR3000 before 2.5.42 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute commands as root by uploading crafted OpenVPN private or tls-auth keys. Attackers can close the inline key block with </key>, inject directives such as tls-verify that bypass the .ovpn denylist, and have OpenVPN execute the hook as root.

Attacker needs: network access, high-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-129100 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-129100 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:

Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.
Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

Questions about CVE-2026-129100
Is CVE-2026-129100 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
Authenticated administrators can run commands as root on the device by uploading crafted OpenVPN private or tls-auth keys. The key upload input is not handled safely, which lets injected commands run with root privileges.Source: vulncheck.com
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-129100?
TR3000 1.0: before 2.5.42.Source: cve.now feed data
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Cudy TR3000 1.0 firmware versions before 2.5.42 are affected, but only where the OpenVPN private or tls-auth key upload feature is used. To check, look at the firmware version in the router's admin interface and whether OpenVPN keys have been uploaded through it.Source: vulncheck.com
How do I fix CVE-2026-129100?
Upgrade the TR3000 firmware to version 2.5.42 or later, which is the listed fixed version.Source: vulncheck.com
