Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 11.4%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
An issue was discovered on Gemtek WRTM-127ACN 01.01.02.141 and WRTM-127x9 01.01.02.127 devices. The Monitor Diagnostic network page allows an authenticated attacker to execute a command directly on the target machine. Commands are executed as the root user (uid 0). (Even if a login is required, most routers are left with default credentials.)
