CVE-2024-2851Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote command execution via unsanitized usbName

Published Mar 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 22, 2024

OS command injection in Tenda AC15 15.03.05.18 and 15.03.20_multi allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The formSetSambaConf handler passes the request-body usbName value into an operating-system command without neutralizing command metacharacters. Reachability requires network access to the management interface and, under the CNA assessment, authentication; NVD assesses the endpoint as unauthenticated.
