CVE-2025-68459
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on Ruijie Networks AP180 series wireless access points through the CLI service. Attackers who obtain valid login credentials can achieve remote code execution on affected devices. Organizations using these specific Ruijie access points are at risk.

- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the access point allowing attackers to pivot to internal networks, intercept traffic, deploy malware, or use the device as a persistence point for further attacks.
Likely Case
Attackers with stolen or default credentials gain full control of the access point, potentially compromising network security and connected devices.
If Mitigated
With strong authentication and network segmentation, impact is limited to the isolated access point device itself.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires CLI access credentials. Once authenticated, command injection is straightforward.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check Ruijie Networks advisory for specific patched firmware versions
Vendor Advisory: https://www.ruijie.com.cn/gy/xw-aqtg-gw/930282/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download latest firmware from Ruijie support portal. 2. Backup current configuration. 3. Upload and apply firmware update via web interface or CLI. 4. Reboot device. 5. Verify firmware version.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable CLI Service
allDisable command line interface access if not required for operations
Specific commands depend on Ruijie OS version - consult documentation
Restrict Network Access
linuxLimit CLI service access to management network only using firewall rules
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [CLI_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_NETWORK] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [CLI_PORT] -j DROP
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate affected AP180 devices in separate VLAN with strict firewall rules
- Change all default credentials and implement strong password policies for CLI access
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check firmware version against Ruijie advisory. Test CLI input validation with safe commands like 'echo test' in parameter fields.Check Version:
show version (Ruijie CLI command)Verify Fix Applied:
Verify firmware version matches patched version from vendor advisory. Test command injection attempts to confirm they are properly sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual CLI login attempts
- Suspicious command execution in system logs
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful login
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected outbound connections from AP devices
