CVE-2024-30891Public exploit

Unauthenticated command execution via unsanitized cmdinput

Published Apr 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024

Command injection in /goform/exeCommand in Tenda AC18 firmware 15.03.05.05 allows remote attackers to execute commands via crafted POST data. The formexeCommand handler passes attacker-controlled cmdinput to doSystemCmd without neutralizing shell metacharacters. Reachability requires management-interface access from an adjacent network; successful execution permits data access, alteration, or service interruption.
