8.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Ruckus Networks Solo APs firmware releases R110.x or before and Ruckus Networks SZ managed APs firmware releases R5.x or before contain authenticated Root Command Injection in the web-GUI that could allow authenticated valid users to execute privileged commands on the respective systems.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2017-6230 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
