Understand software risk,
with the evidence visible.

Search software, operating systems, packages, CVEs, KBs, campaigns, advisories, named operations or GHSAs and review correlated vulnerability, campaign, advisory, exploitation, update, affected-product and lifecycle intelligence in one place.

Vendor and product names are suggested from the active PostgreSQL intelligence index as you type. Choose Campaign / advisory for named operations such as BADBOX, BADBOX 2.0, NotPetya or ransomware campaigns. Exact product excludes fuzzy identities; Vendor search discovers manufacturer-linked records. Auto detect still recognizes structured IDs such as CVEs, KBs, GHSAs and FLASH/CERT identifiers.

Why this rating

  • CISA lists this as exploited in real attacks (added 2026-09-10).
  • Working exploit code is public (Exploit-DB), so attacks require little skill.
  • EPSS estimates a 6.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
  • It can be exploited remotely over the network.

What to do

  1. CISA required action: Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see… (federal deadline 2026-09-13)
  2. Check your inventory against the 9 affected products — start with internet-facing systems.
  3. Until patched, restrict network exposure of affected systems and watch for exploitation attempts.

What the vulnerability is

RouterOS contains an argument-handling flaw in the SSH login path involving usernames that begin with a prohibited character, allowing for the trusted RouterOS policy mask to be changed, leading to privilege escalation. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated SSH session to reach the RouterOS login helper.This issue was fixed in versions: 6.49.21 (Long-term), 7.23.4 (Long-term) and 7.24.2 (Stable)

Affected vendor/product relationships

These vendors are derived from affected product/device evidence tied to this CVE. This is intentionally separate from the direct intelligence-source lanes above: a vendor can have affected products without Scantide having a vendor-specific advisory or Microsoft KB record for the CVE.

 1 affected vendors represented
Related through CISA advisory 1 advisory group

These CVEs are connected because CISA published them in the same advisory. This is strong contextual correlation, but does not by itself mean they form an exploit chain.

Affected-product scope: The product/device count is the deduplicated set Scantide can prove from its currently ingested structured records and advisory text. It is not a claim that only those products were affected; component vulnerabilities such as Log4Shell can have a much larger downstream ecosystem. Advisory and vendor references are kept clickable so additional downstream exposure can be followed to the authoritative source.
Coverage note: Scantide correlates multiple public and locally indexed intelligence sources, but no dataset or matching process is complete. Results may omit software, dependencies, affected versions or advisories, and related records do not by themselves prove that a specific installation is vulnerable. Confirm important findings against vendor guidance and the installed product and version.
