CVE-2024-4508
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 was found in Ruijie RG-UAC up to 20240428. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown function of the file /view/IPV6/ipv6StaticRoute/static_route_edit_ipv6.php. The manipulation of the argument oldipmask/oldgateway/olddevname leads to os command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-263112. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 confidenceOS command injection vulnerability in Ruijie RG-UAC unified access controller. The IPv6 static route edit page (/view/IPV6/ipv6StaticRoute/static_route_edit_ipv6.php) fails to sanitize user-supplied input in the oldipmask, oldgateway, and olddevname parameters before passing them to system shell commands, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands.

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 installed productAccess the device administrative interface or check system information to confirm the device is a Ruijie RG-UAC unified access controller. Look for model identifiers such as RG-UAC 6000 CC, E10, E10c, E20, E20c, E20m, E50, or E50c in the device status or firmware information page.Affected if The device is a Ruijie RG-UAC 6000 series model (CC, E10, E10c, E20, E20c, E20m, E50, or E50c)
-
Verify IPv6 routing feature is accessibleLog into the RG-UAC administrative interface and navigate to the IPv6 static route configuration page. The vulnerable path is typically found under Network Settings or Routing sections. Attempt to access the URL path /view/IPV6/ipv6StaticRoute/static_route_edit_ipv6.php or locate the equivalent page in the web interface navigation.Affected if The IPv6 static route editing functionality is present and accessible in the administrative interface
-
Check if the vulnerable script is presentUsing authenticated access to the device (via web interface or administrative shell), verify that the PHP script static_route_edit_ipv6.php exists in the /view/IPV6/ipv6StaticRoute/ directory on the device filesystem.Affected if The file static_route_edit_ipv6.php exists in the expected path on the device
-
Confirm the device is reachable over networkVerify the RG-UAC web management interface is network-accessible (typically on ports 80 or 443). The vulnerability is exploitable remotely, so any exposed management interface with the IPv6 routing feature constitutes the attack surface.Affected if The device administrative interface is accessible from network locations and IPv6 routing features are enabled
The environment is affected if it consists of any Ruijie RG-UAC 6000 series model (CC, E10, E10c, E20, E20c, E20m, E50, or E50c) with the IPv6 static route editing functionality accessible via the web interface.

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 dataImplement strict input validation and sanitization for all route parameters before shell execution; ideally migrate to parameterized APIs or safe command builders that avoid shell invocation entirely.
