CVE-2024-13062
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 · uneditedAn unintended entry point vulnerability has been identified in certain router models, which may allow for arbitrary command execution. Refer to the ' 01/02/2025 ASUS Router AiCloud vulnerability' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
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 confidenceThis is an authentication bypass or unintended entry point vulnerability in ASUS Router AiCloud feature that allows arbitrary command execution. The CVSS 7.2 score indicates high severity with network-attack vector, low attack complexity, and high confidentiality/availability impact. Attackers can execute commands on the router without proper authorization.

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 ASUS router modelAccess router web interface (typically at 192.168.1.1) and check the device model/name in the administration settings, or check the physical device labelAffected if Device is not an ASUS router (this CVE only affects ASUS devices)
-
Check if AiCloud feature is enabledLog into ASUS router admin interface, navigate to AiCloud settings (usually under 'USB Application' or 'AiCloud' menu) and verify whether the feature toggle is turned ONAffected if AiCloud is enabled - the vulnerability only affects systems with AiCloud active
-
Verify router firmware versionIn the router admin interface, go to 'Administration' > 'Firmware Upgrade' or 'System' section to view the current firmware version numberAffected if Firmware version is unpatched - compare against ASUS security advisories for CVE-2024-13062 fixed versions
-
Confirm network exposure of admin interfaceCheck if router administration port (typically 80/443) is exposed to WAN/internet by reviewing port forwarding rules or running an external port scan against your public IPAffected if Admin interface is accessible from untrusted networks - CVSS notes network attack vector making remote exploitation possible
User is affected if they have an ASUS router with AiCloud enabled, running an unpatched firmware version, and the router admin interface is network-accessible

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.
From vendor dataApply available firmware updates from ASUS immediately. If patches are unavailable, consider disabling the AiCloud feature and restricting router administration interfaces to trusted networks.
