Authenticated root command execution via unsanitized SSID
Published May 12, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
OS command injection in the infactory_wlan console of InHand Networks InRouter302 3.5.37 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The wlan 2g connect path inserts an unsanitized SSID argument into an iwpriv command string and passes it to system(). Access requires valid Telnet or SSH console credentials plus the factory-mode password, and injected commands run with root privileges.
