Published: 02 January 2025
Summary
CVE-2024-13062 is a high-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Asus (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 47.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13062 is an unintended entry point vulnerability identified in certain ASUS router models, specifically impacting the AiCloud feature. This flaw may allow for arbitrary command execution and is linked to CWE-77 (Command Injection) and CWE-912 (Hidden Functionality). Published on January 2, 2025, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network by attackers with high privileges, such as authenticated administrative users, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary command execution on the router, resulting in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, potentially leading to full device compromise.
Mitigation details are outlined in the ASUS Product Security Advisory, particularly the "01/02/2025 ASUS Router AiCloud vulnerability" section, accessible at https://www.asus.com/content/asus-product-security-advisory/. Security practitioners should consult this advisory for affected models, patches, and recommended actions.
