Authenticated command execution via unfiltered NAS parameters
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated Oct 20, 2025
Command injection in WAVLINK WN572HP3, WN533A8, WN530H4, WN535G3, and WN531P3 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The /cgi-bin/nas.cgi handler accepts unfiltered User1 and User1Passwd values from /nas_disk.shtml, allowing semicolon-delimited input to append a command. Access to the router administration interface is required, and successful injection runs attacker-chosen commands on the router.
