Unauthenticated command execution via UPnP parameter injection
Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2025
Command injection in NETGEAR WNR854T 1.5.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through a crafted UPnP request. The addmap_exec function concatenates the NewInternalClient value into an iptables command that is passed to system() without sanitization. The WAN-facing UPnP service requires no authentication, and successful requests execute commands with the service's privileges.
