An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-22914 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zyxel USG FLEX series firmware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22914/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22914/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-22914","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22914/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-22914","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3pc2-c878-63rj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Zyxel USG FLEX firmware","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated administrators can execute unauthorized OS commands via path traversal in the account_print.cgi program when hotspot is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zyxel","cpe":[{"product":"usg_flex_100_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"usg_flex_100w_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"usg_flex_200_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"usg_flex_500_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"usg_flex_50_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"usg_flex_50w_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"usg_flex_700_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"vpn1000_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"vpn100_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"vpn300_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"vpn50_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A path traversal vulnerability in the “account_print.cgi” CGI program of Zyxel USG FLEX series firmware versions 4.50 through 5.35, and VPN series firmware versions 4.30 through 5.35, which could allow a remote authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to execute unauthorized OS commands in the “tmp” directory by uploading a crafted file if the hotspot function were enabled.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in USG FLEX series firmware","id":"CVE-2023-22914","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in USG FLEX 50(W) firmware","id":"CVE-2023-22915"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in USG FLEX series firmware","id":"CVE-2023-22913"},"products":["USG FLEX series firmware","VPN series firmware"],"published":"2023-04-24","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Command injection in USG FLEX series firmware","id":"CVE-2023-22913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-12","vendors":["Zyxel"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated administrators can execute unauthorized OS commands via path traversal in the account_print.cgi program when hotspot is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-22914/"}
