Authenticated root command execution via NTP parameter
Published Jan 6, 2026 · Updated Jan 6, 2026
OS command injection in CAYIN SMP media players allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary shell commands as root. The system.cgi and wizard_system.cgi handlers pass the NTP_Server_IP value to a shell command without neutralizing command separators. Access requires web authentication, but the published exploit uses the default webadmin/admin credentials and returns command output over HTTP.
