CVE-2018-0425
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 · uneditedA vulnerability in the web-based management interface of the Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall, Cisco RV130W Wireless-N Multifunction VPN Router, and Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Router could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. The vulnerability is due to improper access control to files within the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious requests to a targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive configuration information, including user authentication credentials.
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 · high confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco RV110W, RV130W, and RV215W Wireless-N VPN routers. The vulnerability stems from improper access control that allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to access sensitive files within the web interface. Successful exploitation grants attackers access to configuration data and user authentication credentials.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify router modelLocate the model number on the device physical label or check the web UI header for Cisco RV110W, RV130W, or RV215WAffected if Model is RV110W, RV130W, or RV215W
-
Check firmware versionAccess the router web UI, navigate to Status or Administration > Firmware Upgrade, and record the displayed firmware version numberAffected if Version is 1.2.1.7 or lower for RV110W, below 1.0.3.44 for RV130W, or 1.3.0.8 or lower for RV215W
-
Verify web management interface is enabledIn the web UI, go to Administration > Management and confirm the HTTP or HTTPS management access is enabledAffected if HTTP or HTTPS management is enabled
-
Check remote management exposureIn the web UI, locate the Remote Management setting (usually under Administration > Management or Firewall settings) and determine if it allows access from WAN/internetAffected if Remote management is enabled or the interface is accessible from external networks
-
Inspect network accessibilityFrom an external network (or use an online port scanner), attempt to reach the router's HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) IP address to confirm if the management interface is exposedAffected if Ports 80 or 443 are open and reachable from untrusted networks
A user is affected if they own one of the three router models, run a firmware version within the affected ranges, and have the web management interface accessible from untrusted networks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.0.3.44
Apply the vendor-supplied firmware patch when available. Until then, restrict web-based management interface access to trusted internal networks only, and consider disabling remote management if not essential. Change all user credentials as a precautionary measure.
RV110W: Firmware 1.2.1.8 or later | RV130W: Firmware 1.0.3.44 or later | RV215W: Firmware 1.3.0.9 or later (or latest available for each model)
- 1. Identify the exact model of your Cisco device (RV110W, RV130W, or RV215W)
- 2. Access the Cisco software download page at tools.cisco.com and search for your device model
- 3. Download the latest available firmware version for your specific model
- 4. Access the device web-based management interface
- 5. Navigate to the Administration or System Management section
- 6. Locate the Firmware Upgrade option
- 7. Upload and apply the new firmware version
- 8. After reboot, verify the firmware version matches the fixed release
