This affects R6700 before 1.0.1.48, R7500 before 1.0.0.124, R7800 before 1.0.2.58, R8900 before 1.0.4.2, R9000 before 1.0.4.2, WNDR3700v4 before 1.0.2.102, WNDR4300v1 before 1.0.2.104, WNDR4300v2 before 1.0.0.56, WNDR4500v3 before 1.0.0.56, and WNR2000v5-R2000 before 1.0.0.68.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 7.2
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.35%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 71
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
