Total actiontec CVEs: 12
Earliest CVE date: 14 May 2018, 14:29 UTC
Latest CVE date: 19 Jun 2024, 00:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2024-6146
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 5
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 4.38
Max CVSS: 10.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 3
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 5 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 3 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 1 |

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for actiontec, sorted by severity first and recency.
Actiontec WCB6200Q uh_get_postdata_withupload Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Actiontec WCB6200Q routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the HTTP server. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the HTTP server. Was ZDI-CAN-21418.
Actiontec WCB6200Q Cookie Format String Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Actiontec WCB6200Q routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the HTTP server. A crafted Cookie header in an HTTP request can trigger the use of a format specifier from a user-supplied string. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the HTTP server. Was ZDI-CAN-21417.
Actiontec WCB6200Q Multipart Boundary Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Actiontec WCB6200Q routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the HTTP server. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the HTTP server. Was ZDI-CAN-21416.
Actiontec WCB6200Q uh_tcp_recv_header Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Actiontec WCB6200Q routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the HTTP server. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the HTTP server. Was ZDI-CAN-21414.
Actiontec WCB6200Q uh_tcp_recv_content Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Actiontec WCB6200Q routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the HTTP server. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the HTTP server. Was ZDI-CAN-21410.
Unspecified Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Verizon FIOS Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I router.
On Telus Actiontec WEB6000Q v1.1.02.22 devices, an attacker can login with root level access with the user "root" and password "admin" by using the enabled onboard UART headers.
An issue was discovered in the Quantenna WiFi Controller on Telus Actiontec WEB6000Q v1.1.02.22 devices. An attacker can statically set his/her IP to anything on the 169.254.1.0/24 subnet, and obtain root access by connecting to 169.254.1.2 port 23 with telnet/netcat.
The Quantenna WiFi Controller on Telus Actiontec WEB6000Q v1.1.02.22 allows login with root level access with the user "root" and an empty password by using the enabled onboard UART headers.
An issue was discovered on Actiontec T2200H T2200H-31.128L.08 devices, as distributed by Telus. By attaching a UART adapter to the UART pins on the system board, an attacker can use a special key sequence (Ctrl-\) to obtain a shell with root privileges. After gaining root access, the attacker can mount the filesystem read-write and make permanent modifications to the device including bricking of the device, disabling vendor management of the device, preventing automatic upgrades, and permanently installing malicious code on the device.
Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the advancedsetup_websiteblocking.html Website Blocking page of the Actiontec C1000A router with firmware through CAC004-31.30L.95 allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTML into the Website Blocking page by inserting arbitrary HTML into the 'TodUrlAdd' URL parameter in a /urlfilter.cmd POST request.
An issue was discovered on Actiontec WCB6200Q before 1.1.10.20a devices. The admin login session cookie is insecurely generated making admin session hijacking possible. When an admin logs in, a session cookie is generated using the time of day rounded to 10ms. Since the web server returns its current time of day in responses, it is possible to step backward through possible session values until a working one is found. Once a working session ID is found, an attacker then has admin control of the device and can add a secondary SSID to create a backdoor to the network.
