CVE-2023-41347 is an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability affecting ASUS RT-AX55 routers. The flaw is in an authentication-related function, specifically the check token module, where special characters are insufficiently filtered before being incorporated into command execution logic. An authenticated remote attacker can abuse this input-handling weakness to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the device. The issue is part of a cluster of related ASUS router token-module command injection flaws and has been associated with exploitation against exposed ASUS WRT devices.
