Privileged shell access via command injection
Published Oct 25, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2024
OS command injection in Tenda AX2 Pro firmware 16.03.29.50 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileged shell access. The public disclosure states only that a crafted malicious payload reaches command execution; it does not identify the accepting endpoint, parameter, or command-building function. Exploitation requires low-privileged access from an adjacent network and exposes the router file system through a highest-privilege shell.
