High CVSS 7.2

CVE-2026-14818

NVD analysis in progress

A path traversal vulnerability in the CLI command used to execute configuration files in Zyxel ATP series firmware versions from V4.32 through V5.42 Patch 1, USG FLEX series firmware versions from V4.50 through V5.42 Patch 1, USG FLEX 50(W) series firmware versions from V4.16 through V5.42 Patch 1, and USG20(W)-VPN series firmware versions from V4.16 through V5.42 Patch 1 could allow an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to execute a crafted malicious configuration file on an affected device.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
An attacker-supplied file path is not confined, letting them read or write outside the intended folder.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
