Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The web server on Cisco DPC3010, DPC3212, DPC3825, DPC3925, DPQ3925, EPC3010, EPC3212, EPC3825, and EPC3925 Wireless Residential Gateway products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP request, aka Bug ID CSCup40808.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The web server component in multiple Cisco DPC/EPC series residential gateway products contains a remote code execution vulnerability. Attackers can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the web interface to execute arbitrary code on affected devices. This is a critical flaw as it is network-exploitable without authentication.

MitigationRestrict access to the device web management interface using network segmentation or firewall rules; disable remote web administration if enabled. Since these are end-of-life legacy devices with no available patch, strongly consider replacing them with supported hardware.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the device model
    Locate the model number on the device physical label, or access the administrative console and look for the model identifier in the system information or status page
    Affected if The model number matches one of these: Cisco Dpc3010, Dpc3212, Dpc3825, Dpc3925, Dpq3925, Epc3010, Epc3212, Epc3825
  2. Confirm the device is running a web server
    Attempt to access the device web interface by entering the device IP address in a web browser, or use a tool like curl to check if HTTP/HTTPS ports respond
    Affected if The device model matches an affected Cisco DPC/EPC series and the web interface is accessible from the network where an attacker could reach it

A user is affected if they have one of the listed Cisco DPC/EPC models with the web management interface enabled and accessible, especially if remote WAN access is permitted.
