Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2023-28767 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
