8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This OS command injection vulnerability in Rakuten Turbo 5G firmware allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on affected devices. The vulnerability affects firmware version V1.3.18 and earlier, potentially compromising the entire device and network.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Rakuten Turbo 5G
Versions: V1.3.18 and earlier
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access, but default configurations may be vulnerable if default credentials are used.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete device takeover leading to persistent backdoor installation, credential theft, lateral movement to other network devices, and use as a pivot point for further attacks.

🟠

Likely Case

Attacker gains shell access to execute commands, potentially installing malware, modifying configurations, or exfiltrating sensitive data from the device.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and authentication controls, impact is limited to the affected device only, preventing lateral movement.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires authenticated access but command injection vulnerabilities are typically straightforward to exploit once the injection point is identified.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: V1.3.19 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://network.mobile.rakuten.co.jp/internet/turbo/information/news/3184/

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Access Rakuten Turbo 5G admin interface. 2. Navigate to firmware update section. 3. Download and install firmware version V1.3.19 or later. 4. Reboot device after installation completes.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate Rakuten Turbo 5G devices in separate network segments to limit potential lateral movement.

Strong Authentication

all

Implement strong, unique passwords and consider multi-factor authentication if supported.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Restrict network access to only trusted IP addresses using firewall rules
  • Monitor device logs for unusual command execution patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in device admin interface. If version is V1.3.18 or earlier, device is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via web admin interface at device IP address

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version shows V1.3.19 or later in admin interface after update.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution in system logs
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful login

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected outbound connections from device
  • Unusual traffic patterns to/from device

SIEM Query:

source="rakuten_turbo_logs" AND (event="command_execution" OR event="shell_access")
