Watch Out! Hackers Begin Exploiting Recent Zyxel Firewalls RCE Vulnerability
Image source: z3r00t The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Monday added two security flaws, including the recently disclosed remote code execution bug affecting Zyxel firewalls, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. Tracked as CVE-2022-30525, the vulnerability is rated 9.8 for severity and relates to a command injection flaw
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Monday added two security flaws, including the recently disclosed remote code execution bug affecting Zyxel firewalls, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation.
Tracked as CVE-2022-30525, the vulnerability is rated 9.8 for severity and relates to a command injection flaw in select versions of the Zyxel firewall that could enable an unauthenticated adversary to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system.
Impacted devices include -
- USG FLEX 100, 100W, 200, 500, 700
- USG20-VPN, USG20W-VPN
- ATP 100, 200, 500, 700, 800, and
- VPN series
The issue, for which patches were released by the Taiwanese firm in late April (ZLD V5.30), became public knowledge on May 12 following a coordinated disclosure process with Rapid7.
Merely a day later, the Shadowserver Foundation said it began detecting exploitation attempts, with most of the vulnerable appliances located in France, Italy, the U.S., Switzerland, and Russia.
Also added by CISA to the catalog is CVE-2022-22947, another code injection vulnerability in Spring Cloud Gateway that could be exploited to allow arbitrary remote execution on a remote host by means of a specially crafted request.
The vulnerability is rated 10 out of 10 on the CVSS vulnerability scoring system and has since been addressed in Spring Cloud Gateway versions 3.1.1 or later and 3.0.7 or later as of March 2022.

The previously identified ransomware builder has veered in an entirely new direction, targeting consumers and business of all sizes by exploiting known CVEs through brute-forced and/or stolen SSH keys.
A new, multi-functional Go-based malware dubbed Chaos has been rapidly growing in volume in recent months to ensnare a wide range of Windows, Linux, small office/home office (SOHO) routers, and enterprise servers into its botnet. "Chaos functionality includes the ability to enumerate the host environment, run remote shell commands, load additional modules, automatically propagate through
This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2022-30526, a local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows a low privileged user (e.g. nobody) escalate to root. The issue stems from a suid binary that allows all users to copy files as root. This module overwrites the firewall's crontab to execute an attacker provided script, resulting in code execution as root. In order to use this module, the attacker must first establish shell access. For example, by exploiting CVE-2022-30525. Known affected Zyxel models include USG FLEX (50, 50W, 100W, 200, 500, 700), ATP (100, 200, 500, 700, 800), VPN (50, 100, 300, 1000), USG20-VPN and USG20W-VPN.

Just one day after disclosure, cyberattackers are actively going after the command-injection/code-execution vulnerability in Zyxel's gear.
This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2022-30525, an unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability affecting Zyxel firewalls with zero touch provisioning (ZTP) support. By sending a malicious setWanPortSt command containing an mtu field with a crafted OS command to the /ztp/cgi-bin/handler page, an attacker can gain remote command execution as the nobody user. Affected Zyxel models are USG FLEX 50, 50W, 100W, 200, 500, 700 using firmware 5.21 and below, USG20-VPN and USG20W-VPN using firmware 5.21 and below, and ATP 100, 200, 500, 700, 800 using firmware 5.21 and below.
