These vulnerabilities exist because HTTP requests are not properly validated. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a crafted HTTP request to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code on the device.","published":"2021-02-04T17:15:15.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T03:31:26.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-472"],"affected":["cisco/rv160w wireless-ac vpn router firmware","cisco/rv260 vpn router firmware","cisco/rv260p vpn router with poe firmware","cisco/rv260w wireless-ac vpn router firmware","cisco/rv160 vpn router firmware"],"epss":{"score":0.0418,"percentile":0.90851,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.18%).
