A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in Ruijie Networks Ruijie RG-EW Series Routers up to ReyeeOS 1.55.1915 / EW_3.0(1)B11P55 via the updateVersion function in /cgi-bin/luci/api/wireless.
Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2021-43164 is reported as remote code execution in Ruijie Networks RG-EW Series routers up to ReyeeOS 1.55.1915 / EW_3.0(1)B11P55. Because routers sit at network boundaries, successful exploitation could have serious operational impact. The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to organizations using Ruijie RG-EW Series or Reyee mesh routers on affected firmware. Risk is higher if router management/API interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks or the internet. The source bundle does not identify other affected Ruijie products. Treat as a high-priority edge-device review if Ruijie RG-EW routers are present. Prioritize inventory, exposure reduction, and vendor firmware checks. Business urgency is lower if the organization does not use these routers or management interfaces are isolated. Mitigation focus: Inventory Ruijie RG-EW/Reyee routers and firmware versions.; Check Ruijie guidance for firmware newer than the affected versions.; Restrict administrative and API access to trusted management networks..
