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
A vulnerability was found in Bohua NetDragon Firewall 1.0 and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /systemstatus/ip_status.php. The manipulation of the argument subnet leads to command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

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 · moderate confidence

A command injection vulnerability exists in Bohua NetDragon Firewall 1.0 in the /systemstatus/ip_status.php script. The 'subnet' parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a system command, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.

MitigationImmediately restrict network access to the affected interface if possible. Implement proper input validation and sanitization for the subnet parameter, using allow-lists for expected input formats rather than blacklists, and avoid passing user input to shell execution functions.

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 if Bohua NetDragon Firewall is installed
    Search for the product by checking common installation directories, reviewing installed software lists, or querying running services on the device. Look for processes or services named 'NetDragon' or 'Bohua'.
    Affected if The system has Bohua NetDragon Firewall software present
  2. Determine the installed version
    Check the product's version information through its admin interface, configuration files, or by querying the installed package. Common locations include /opt/netdragon/, /usr/local/bohua/, or the firewall's web interface about page.
    Affected if The version is 1.0 or any version that includes the affected component
  3. Locate the vulnerable script
    Check if the file /systemstatus/ip_status.php exists on the system by searching in the web root directory of the firewall's web interface.
    Affected if The file ip_status.php exists in the /systemstatus/ directory
  4. Verify the vulnerable parameter is accessible
    Test if the /systemstatus/ip_status.php endpoint is reachable over the network on the firewall's management interface. Attempt a basic request to confirm the script responds.
    Affected if The script is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS and accepts the 'subnet' parameter
  5. Confirm command execution is possible
    Review the source code of ip_status.php if accessible, or test the subnet parameter with a benign injection attempt (e.g., adding a simple command separator) to verify if user input is passed to shell execution functions without sanitization.
    Affected if User-supplied input to the subnet parameter is passed to system shell functions without validation

A system is affected if it runs Bohua NetDragon Firewall version 1.0 with the /systemstatus/ip_status.php script accessible and the subnet parameter vulnerable to injection.

Mitigation

Immediately restrict network access to the affected interface if possible. Implement proper input validation and sanitization for the subnet parameter, using allow-lists for expected input formats rather than blacklists, and avoid passing user input to shell execution functions.
