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
Gigastone TR1 Travel Router R101 v1.0.2 is vulnerable to Command Injection. This allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device by sending a crafted HTTP request to the ssid parameter in the request.

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 confidence

The Gigastone TR1 Travel Router R101 v1.0.2 contains a command injection vulnerability in the ssid parameter of HTTP requests. An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the affected endpoint.

MitigationUpdate to a patched firmware version if available. If unavailable, restrict administrative access to the device's web interface to trusted IP addresses or networks to reduce attack surface.

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. Confirm device model is Gigastone TR1 Travel Router R101
    Access the device's web administration interface and navigate to the status or system information page to identify the exact model name and number.
    Affected if The device is a Gigastone TR1 Travel Router R101
  2. Check firmware version is 1.0.2
    In the device's web interface, look for a firmware version, system version, or software version field typically found under Settings, System, or Status pages.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is 1.0.2
  3. Verify web interface is accessible
    Confirm you can reach the device's HTTP administration page (typically on ports 80 or 443) and that you have valid administrator credentials to log in.
    Affected if The device's web interface is accessible and authentication is possible
  4. Identify ssid parameter in HTTP requests
    Use a web proxy or browser developer tools to intercept HTTP requests when accessing wireless settings. Look for any HTTP POST or GET requests containing an 'ssid' parameter that could be manipulated.
    Affected if The device processes ssid parameters through its web interface without proper sanitization

The user is affected if they are running Gigastone TR1 Travel Router R101 with firmware version 1.0.2 and the device's web interface with ssid parameter handling is accessible and enabled.
