CVE-2023-30799 is an authenticated privilege-escalation vulnerability in MikroTik RouterOS. A remote attacker possessing an administrative account can use the Winbox or HTTP management interface to elevate from the normal admin role to the hidden super-admin role. Super-admin access can reach a code path enabling control of a function-call address, allowing arbitrary code execution; demonstrated exploit chains have obtained a root shell on affected MIPS-based devices.

A severe MikroTik RouterOS vulnerability mentioned as a reason to update to the latest version; it is not the main subject of the article.
A critical privilege-escalation vulnerability in MikroTik RouterOS that allows an authenticated attacker (with an existing admin account) to elevate to a hidden "super-admin" privilege level via Winbox or HTTP, enabling full control of the device and facilitating stealthy persistence and deeper compromise (e.g., jailbreak/root shell paths).
An authenticated remote privilege-escalation leading to root code execution (root shell) on MikroTik RouterOS devices, enabling arbitrary function call/ROP-based execution and full device compromise.
