RUGGEDCOM ROX II <v2.17.0 VRF: Code Injection Root Execution
CVE-2024-56839 Published on December 9, 2025

A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.17.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.17.0). Code injection can be achieved when the affected device is using VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding). An attacker could leverage this scenario to execute arbitrary code as root user.

Weakness Type

What is an Injection Vulnerability?

The software constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. Software has certain assumptions about what constitutes data and control respectively. It is the lack of verification of these assumptions for user-controlled input that leads to injection problems. Injection problems encompass a wide variety of issues -- all mitigated in very different ways and usually attempted in order to alter the control flow of the process. For this reason, the most effective way to discuss these weaknesses is to note the distinct features which classify them as injection weaknesses. The most important issue to note is that all injection problems share one thing in common -- i.e., they allow for the injection of control plane data into the user-controlled data plane. This means that the execution of the process may be altered by sending code in through legitimate data channels, using no other mechanism. While buffer overflows, and many other flaws, involve the use of some further issue to gain execution, injection problems need only for the data to be parsed. The most classic instantiations of this category of weakness are SQL injection and format string vulnerabilities.

CVE-2024-56839 has been classified to as an Injection vulnerability or weakness.
