High (7.3). EPSS 0.9% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in the Offline Download component (USB storage allocation) of Archer AX3000 v2. When a USB storage device is attached, an authenticated administrator can submit a crafted path value containing shell metacharacters that is not properly neutralized before being passed to a system command.
Successful exploitation may allow arbitrary command execution on the affected device.
