CVE-2024-53937
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 issue was discovered on Victure RX1800 WiFi 6 Router (software EN_V1.0.0_r12_110933, hardware 1.0) devices. The TELNET service is enabled by default with admin/admin as default credentials and is exposed over the LAN. The allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root-level permissions. Device setup does not require this password to be changed during setup in order to utilize the device. (However, the TELNET password is dictated by the current GUI password.)
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 confidenceThe Victure RX1800 WiFi 6 Router has TELNET service enabled by default with hardcoded admin/admin credentials, exposed over the LAN. Attackers on the local network can authenticate with these default credentials to gain a root shell and execute arbitrary commands. The device setup wizard does not require users to change this password.

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 device modelCheck the router label, web interface footer, or DHCP vendor fingerprint to confirm the device is a Victure RX1800 WiFi 6 RouterAffected if The device model is Victure RX1800
-
Scan for open TELNET port on LANUse a network scanner (such as nmap) from a machine on the same LAN: nmap -p 23 <router-ip> or telnet <router-ip> to test connectivityAffected if TCP port 23 is open and responding on the router's LAN IP address
-
Verify default credentials are activeAttempt to connect via TELNET using the credentials admin/admin: telnet <router-ip> and log in with username admin and password adminAffected if Authentication succeeds with the admin/admin credential pair (root shell obtained)
-
Check TELNET service status in web UILog into the router administration web interface and navigate to System Settings or Security settings to see if TELNET service is enabledAffected if TELNET service is shown as enabled in the router configuration
If the device is a Victure RX1800 with TELNET port 23 open on the LAN and the default admin/admin credentials still grant access, the environment is affected by CVE-2024-53937.
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.
From vendor dataImmediately disable the TELNET service via the router administration interface if not required for business operations. If TELNET is necessary, change the default admin password via the GUI to something strong and unique, and restrict TELNET access to management VLANs or specific IPs.
