CVE-2024-53941
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 in Victure RX1800 WiFi 6 Router (software EN_V1.0.0_r12_110933, hardware 1.0) devices. A remote attacker (in proximity to a Wi-Fi network) can derive the default Wi-Fi PSK value via the last 4 octets of the BSSID.
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 ships with a default PSK that can be mathematically derived by knowing the last 4 octets of the BSSID (access point MAC address). An attacker in Wi-Fi range can discover the BSSID via standard network discovery and then calculate the PSK, gaining unauthorized network access.

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 router modelCheck the device label or admin interface for the exact model number. Common ways: look for 'Victure RX1800' on the physical device, or access the router admin panel (typically 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and check the device info page.Affected if The device is NOT a Victure RX1800 WiFi 6 Router.
-
Obtain the BSSID of the WiFi networkUse a WiFi scanning tool (such as 'iwlist', 'netsh wlan show interfaces' on Windows, or a mobile WiFi analyzer app) to capture the BSSID (access point MAC address) of the wireless network broadcast by this router.Affected if You cannot retrieve a BSSID because the router is not broadcasting a WiFi network.
-
Check if the PSK matches the default valueAccess the router admin interface and navigate to the wireless security settings. Compare the current Pre-Shared Key (PSK) against any default PSK documented on the router label or in the quick start guide. Alternatively, if you never changed the PSK since setup, the current PSK is the default.Affected if The PSK has never been changed from the factory default and can be derived from the BSSID.
-
Verify PSK is not derived from BSSIDIf you set a custom PSK, confirm it does not contain portions of the BSSID (the last 4 octets of the MAC address) or follow any predictable pattern. Check if the PSK appears random and unrelated to the MAC address.Affected if The PSK contains recognizable fragments of the BSSID or follows a predictable derivation pattern.
You are affected if you are using a Victure RX1800 WiFi 6 Router and have not changed the default PSK from the factory setting, as the default PSK can be calculated using the BSSID.

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 change the default Wi-Fi PSK to a strong, unique value through the router admin interface. Check for and apply any firmware updates from Victure. Consider using WPA3 if supported, or at minimum ensure the new PSK is not derived from any predictable network identifiers.
