Authenticated command execution via ping address
Published Feb 2, 2023 · Updated Mar 26, 2025
Command injection in the TRENDnet TEW-652BRP 3.04b01 web interface allows remote authenticated users to execute operating system commands. The ping.ccp handler passes the ping_addr form value to a shell command without neutralizing command-substitution syntax such as $(). Administrator credentials and network access to the management interface are required; successful exploitation grants command execution on the router.
