CVE-2024-25850Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote command execution via WPS SSID injection

Published Feb 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 22, 2024

Command injection in Netis WF2780 firmware 2.1.40144 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through a crafted WPS request. The igd_wps_set path in bin/cgitest.cgi copies wps_ap_ssid5g into a WPS context and passes injected shell syntax into command execution without neutralization. The published proof of concept supplies Basic admin credentials; practical exposure depends on management-interface reachability and accepted credentials.
