CVE-2024-11657Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via diag_nslookup injection

Published Nov 25, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Command injection in EnGenius ENH1350EXT, ENS500-AC, and ENS620EXT build 20241118 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The /admin/network/diag_nslookup handler fails to neutralize shell-special content in the attacker-controlled diag_nslookup argument before command processing. High-privileged access to the web management endpoint is required, and successful exploitation runs commands on the appliance.
