CVE-2018-11491

32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-11491 is a critical vulnerability affecting ASUS HG100 devices with firmware older than version 1.05.12, allowing unauthenticated remote command execution. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this flaw presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is currently available and it's not on CISA's KEV catalog, the high EPSS score suggests a non-trivial probability of exploitation. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, indicating a lack of widespread public attention despite its severity.
