Authenticated command execution via embedded cmd.cgi webshell

Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2025

Command execution in Netgear WNR854T firmware 1.5.2 allows remote authenticated users to run system commands through cmd.cgi. The cmd.cgi handler implements a functional webshell that accepts commands for execution by the underlying system. Access is tied to the authenticated post.cgi workflow, and successful use grants command execution on the router.
