| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-86060 | CRITICAL | 9.2 | Sep 5, 2026 | RouterOS contains an argument-handling flaw in the SSH login path involving usernames that begin with a prohibited character, allowing for the trusted RouterOS policy mask to be changed, leading to privilege escalation. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated SSH session to reach the RouterOS login helper.This issue was fixed in versions: 6.49.21 (Long-term), 7.23.4 (Long-term) and 7.24.2 (Stable) |
| CVE-2023-30799 | CRITICAL | 9.1 | Jul 19, 2023 | MikroTik RouterOS stable before 6.49.7 and long-term through 6.48.6 are vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue. A remote and authenticated attacker can escalate privileges from admin to super-admin on the Winbox or HTTP interface. The attacker can abuse this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. |
| CVE-2026-67277 | HIGH | 8.8 | Sep 5, 2026 | RouterOS accepts a "related" btest connection before the corresponding primary session has completed authentication. An unauthenticated client can use this state to start an IPv4 UDP test. With "random-data=false", the sender transmits an uninitialized tail from a kernel packet buffer. A separate unchecked, inverted packet-size interval causes unsigned integer underflow, anomalously large fragmented output, and can restart the RouterOS kernel. This issue was fixed in versions: 6.49.21 (Long-t |
| CVE-2022-45313 | HIGH | 8.8 | Dec 5, 2022 | Mikrotik RouterOs before stable v7.5 was discovered to contain an out-of-bounds read in the hotspot process. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted nova message. |
| CVE-2023-32154 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 3, 2024 | Mikrotik RouterOS RADVD Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Mikrotik RouterOS. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Router Advertisement Daemon. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverag |
| CVE-2023-30800 | HIGH | 7.5 | Sep 7, 2023 | The web server used by MikroTik RouterOS version 6 is affected by a heap memory corruption issue. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can corrupt the server's heap memory by sending a crafted HTTP request. As a result, the web interface crashes and is immediately restarted. The issue was fixed in RouterOS 6.49.10 stable. RouterOS version 7 is not affected. |
| CVE-2018-5951 | HIGH | 7.5 | Mar 2, 2020 | An issue was discovered in Mikrotik RouterOS. Crafting a packet that has a size of 1 byte and sending it to an IPv6 address of a RouterOS box with IP Protocol 97 will cause RouterOS to reboot imminently. All versions of RouterOS that supports EoIPv6 are vulnerable to this attack. |
| CVE-2025-6443 | HIGH | 7.2 | Jun 25, 2025 | Mikrotik RouterOS VXLAN Source IP Improper Access Control Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions on affected installations of Mikrotik RouterOS. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of remote IP addresses when processing VXLAN traffic. The issue results from the lack of validation of the remote IP address against configured values prior to allowing ingress traffic into the inte |
| CVE-2026-67279 | MEDIUM | 6.9 | Sep 5, 2026 | RouterOS SSH enters the connection protocol after a client-requested rekey even though user authentication was never attempted, allowing an unauthenticated client to open a session channel and send an exec request. On affected builds the server dispatches the command, enabling unauthenticated creation, overwrite, and reconstruction of files in the RouterOS managed file namespace, including support files containing configuration and diagnostic data.This issue was fixed in versions: 6.49.21 (Long- |
| CVE-2022-36522 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Aug 26, 2022 | Mikrotik RouterOs through stable v6.48.3 was discovered to contain an assertion failure in the component /advanced-tools/nova/bin/netwatch. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted packet. |
| CVE-2021-36614 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | May 11, 2022 | Mikrotik RouterOs before stable 6.48.2 suffers from a memory corruption vulnerability in the tr069-client process. An authenticated remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (NULL pointer dereference). |
| CVE-2021-36613 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | May 11, 2022 | Mikrotik RouterOs before stable 6.48.2 suffers from a memory corruption vulnerability in the ptp process. An authenticated remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (NULL pointer dereference). |
| CVE-2020-20231 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Jul 14, 2021 | Mikrotik RouterOs through stable version 6.48.3 suffers from a memory corruption vulnerability in the /nova/bin/detnet process. An authenticated remote attacker can cause a Denial of Service (NULL pointer dereference). |
| CVE-2022-45315 | MEDIUM | 6.4 | Dec 5, 2022 | Mikrotik RouterOs before stable v7.6 was discovered to contain an out-of-bounds read in the snmp process. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet. |
| CVE-2021-3014 | MEDIUM | 6.1 | Jan 4, 2021 | In MikroTik RouterOS through 2021-01-04, the hotspot login page is vulnerable to reflected XSS via the target parameter. |
| CVE-2024-54772 | MEDIUM | 5.4 | Feb 11, 2025 | An issue was discovered in the Winbox service of MikroTik RouterOS long-term release v6.43.13 through v6.49.13 and stable v6.43 through v7.17.2. A patch is available in the stable release v6.49.18. A discrepancy in response size between connection attempts made with a valid username and those with an invalid username allows attackers to enumerate for valid accounts. |
