"According to its model number, the remote Zyxel router is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

  - A post-authentication command injection vulnerability in the CGI program of the legacy DSL CPE Zyxel
    VMG4325-B10A firmware version 1.00(AAFR.4)C0_20170615 could allow an authenticated attacker to execute
    operating system (OS) commands on an affected device by sending a crafted HTTP POST request. (CVE-2024-40890)

  - A post-authentication command injection vulnerability in the management commands of the legacy DSL CPE
    Zyxel VMG4325-B10A firmware version 1.00(AAFR.4)C0_20170615 could allow an authenticated attacker to
    execute operating system (OS) commands on an affected device via Telnet. (CVE-2024-40891)

  - Insecure default credentials for the Telnet function in the legacy DSL CPE Zyxel VMG4325-B10A firmware
    version 1.00(AAFR.4)C0_20170615 could allow an attacker to log in to the management interface if the
    administrators have the option to change the default credentials but fail to do so. (CVE-2025-0890)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues, but has instead relied on the router's self-reported model number.");
