Deeper analysis

Arris SBR-AC1900P 1.0.7-B05, SBR-AC3200P 1.0.7-B05, and SBR-AC1200P 1.0.5-B05 routers contain a command-injection flaw in the pptp function. The vulnerability is triggered through the pptpUserName and pptpPassword parameters and is tracked as CVE-2022-26994 with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 and CWE-78.

An unauthenticated attacker can submit a crafted HTTP request over the network to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device. Successful exploitation grants full control of the router, including the ability to alter configuration, intercept traffic, or pivot into attached networks.

Public references consist of a GitHub report that reproduces the issue; no vendor advisory or firmware patch information is included in the supplied references. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0956 since disclosure.
