Vulnerability Data
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV340, RV340W, RV345, and RV345P Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device. In order to exploit this…
more
vulnerability, the attacker must have valid admin credentials. This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not sufficiently validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP input to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code as the root user on the underlying operating system.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization to prevent delimiter/command injection.

Security testing can detect the weakness but does not prevent it by itself.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly neutralizes expression/command delimiters.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection and delimiter-based attacks.
Secure architecture principles reduce attack surface but do not prescribe delimiter neutralization.
Secure coding standards require proper neutralization of special elements, directly eliminating this weakness.
