Researchers at Trellix have discovered a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability impacting 29 models of the DrayTek Vigor series of business routers. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-32548 and carries a maximum CVSS v3 severity score of 10.0, categorizing it as critical.

Threat actors have been exploiting a couple of vulnerabilities affecting some DrayTek enterprise routers in attacks that started before patches were released by the vendor. In early December 2019, researchers at the Network Security Research Lab of Chinese cybersecurity firm Qihoo 360 noticed that some DrayTek Vigor routers had been targeted in attacks exploiting a vulnerability which at the time had a zero-day status.

Cybersecurity researchers with Qihoo 360's NetLab today unveiled details of two recently spotted zero-day cyberattack campaigns in the wild targeting enterprise-grade networking devices manufactured by Taiwan-based DrayTek. According to the report, at least two separate groups of hackers exploited two critical remote command injection vulnerabilities affecting DrayTek Vigor enterprise switches, load-balancers, routers and VPN gateway devices to eavesdrop on network traffic and install backdoors.
