DrayTek VigorSwitch lets admin run commands remotely

CVE-2026-71917 · published 2 months ago
Summary

Several DrayTek VigorSwitch models let an attacker who can log into the web admin console send specially crafted ping requests that cause the device to run any command as the system’s top‑level user. This could let the attacker take full control of the switch or network traffic. Protect yourself by changing default passwords, limiting web‑admin access, and applying the latest firmware updates from DrayTek.
