CVE-2026-71990

Status: DeferredCritical (9.3)—

MSI Radix AXE6600 router firmware version v781521 contains a command injection vulnerability in the TelnetSSH function used for SSH configuration that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability through the SSH configuration interface to inject malicious commands and obtain root privileges on the underlying system.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Vector CVSS indica acceso remoto (AV:N) sin privilegios (PR:N) ni interacción (UI:N), CWE-78 es inyección de comandos. El atacante ejecuta comandos arbitrarios (T1059) y obtiene privilegios root (T1068).

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
