CVE-2023-32350
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 · uneditedVersions 00.07.00 through 00.07.03 of Teltonika’s RUT router firmware contain an operating system (OS) command injection vulnerability in a Lua service. An attacker could exploit a parameter in the vulnerable function that calls a user-provided package name by instead providing a package with a malicious name that contains an OS command injection payload.
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 confidenceOS command injection vulnerability in Teltonika RUT router firmware (versions 00.07.00-00.07.03) within a Lua service. The vulnerable function accepts a user-supplied package name parameter without proper sanitization, allowing an attacker to embed OS command injection payloads within the package name that get executed on the underlying operating system.

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 the router modelAccess the router web interface or use the command line to determine the exact model (Rut200, Rut240, Rut241, Rut300, Rut360, Rut901, Rut950, or Rut951)Affected if The model is any of the listed Teltonika Rut series routers
-
Check the installed firmware versionNavigate to the router's web interface (typically Status > Device > Firmware) or use the command line to retrieve the firmware version stringAffected if The firmware version is 00.07.00, 00.07.01, 00.07.02, or 00.07.03
-
Determine if the Lua package management service is enabledInspect the router's running services or configuration files to see if the Lua-based package management functionality is active and accessibleAffected if The Lua service that handles package name parameters is exposed and accepting user input
Your environment is affected if you are running any of the listed Teltonika Rut router models (Rut200, Rut240, Rut241, Rut300, Rut360, Rut901, Rut950, Rut951) with firmware version 00.07.00 through 00.07.03 and the vulnerable Lua service is enabled and accessible.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scopedUpdate to a patched firmware version if available; otherwise, implement strict input validation on the package name parameter in the Lua service to reject shell metacharacters and ensure only valid package identifiers are processed.
Firmware version 00.07.04 or later
- 1. Identify the specific Teltonika RUT router model from the affected list (RUT200, Rut240, Rut241, Rut300, Rut360, Rut901, Rut950, or Rut951)
- 2. Access the router's web interface or management console
- 3. Navigate to the firmware upgrade section (typically under System > Firmware or similar)
- 4. Download the latest firmware version from Teltonika's official support website (www.teltonika-networks.com)
- 5. Upload and apply firmware version 00.07.04 or later
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the firmware version in the router's web interface
- 7. After upgrade, validate that the vulnerable Lua service function no longer accepts malicious command injection payloads
