This affects TOTOLINK A3002RU through 2.0.0, A702R through 2.1.3, N301RT through 2.1.6, N302R through 3.4.0, N300RT through 3.4.0, N200RE through 4.0.0, N150RT through 3.4.0, and N100RE through 3.4.0; Rutek RTK 11N AP through 2019-12-12; Sapido GR297n through 2019-12-12; CIK TELECOM MESH ROUTER through 2019-12-12; KCTVJEJU Wireless AP through 2019-12-12; Fibergate FGN-R2 through 2019-12-12; Hi-Wifi MAX-C300N through 2019-12-12; HCN MAX-C300N through 2019-12-12; T-broad GN-866ac through 2019-12-12; Coship EMTA AP through 2019-12-12; and IO-Data WN-AC1167R through 2019-12-12.
CVE-2019-19823
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 6.4%, top 7% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
