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
Ruijie NBR800G gateway NBR_RGOS_11.1(6)B4P9 is vulnerable to command execution in /itbox_pi/networksafe.php via the province parameter.

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 Ruijie NBR800G gateway running NBR_RGOS_11.1(6)B4P9 contains a command injection vulnerability in the /itbox_pi/networksafe.php script. The 'province' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing authenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands via the web interface.

MitigationApply available vendor firmware patches for CVE-2024-51027. If no patch is available, restrict network access to the management interface and consider deploying compensating controls such as WAF rules to filter malicious request patterns.

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. Identify the device model
    Access the router's web management interface or check CLI output for the model name (NBR800G) and firmware version string
    Affected if The device is a Ruijie NBR800G gateway running NBR_RGOS firmware
  2. Check the firmware version
    In the web interface, look under System Status or Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade to view the exact OS version; or run 'show version' via CLI
    Affected if The firmware version is NBR_RGOS_11.1(6)B4P9 or falls within the 11.1(6)Bxx branch (vulnerable to command injection in the 'province' parameter)
  3. Verify the vulnerable script is present
    Attempt to access the URI '/itbox_pi/networksafe.php' via HTTP/HTTPS to confirm the script exists on the device
    Affected if The script responds (even with an error), indicating the vulnerable endpoint is enabled
  4. Confirm web management interface is exposed
    Determine if the router's HTTP/HTTPS management ports (typically 80/443) are reachable from the network
    Affected if The web interface is accessible, allowing authenticated users to reach the vulnerable parameter

You are affected if you have a Ruijie NBR800G running NBR_RGOS_11.1(6)B4P9 (or similar 11.1(6)Bxx version) with the web management interface accessible and the /itbox_pi/networksafe.php script present, as an authenticated attacker could inject commands via the 'province' parameter.
