A OS command injection vulnerability in the CGI program of Zyxel USG FLEX 100(W) firmware versions 5.00 through 5.21 Patch 1, USG FLEX 200 firmware versions 5.00 through 5.21 Patch 1, USG FLEX 500 firmware versions 5.00 through 5.21 Patch 1, USG FLEX 700 firmware versions 5.00 through 5.21 Patch 1, USG FLEX 50(W) firmware versions 5.10 through 5.21 Patch 1, USG20(W)-VPN firmware versions 5.10 through 5.21 Patch 1, ATP series firmware versions 5.10 through 5.21 Patch 1, VPN series firmware versions 4.60 through 5.21 Patch 1, which could allow an attacker to modify specific files and then execute some OS commands on a vulnerable device.

The configuration parser fails to sanitize user-controlled input in the Zyxel ATP series firmware versions 5.10 through 5.36, USG FLEX series firmware versions 5.00 through 5.36,  USG FLEX 50(W) series firmware versions 5.10 through 5.36,

USG20(W)-VPN series firmware versions 5.10 through 5.36, and VPN series firmware versions 5.00 through 5.36. An unauthenticated, LAN-based attacker could leverage the vulnerability to inject some operating system (OS) commands into the device configuration data on an affected device when the cloud management mode is enabled.
