CVE-2024-7436Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unquoted cmd parameter

Published Aug 3, 2024 · Updated Aug 7, 2024

OS command injection in D-Link DI-8100 16.07 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through the web interface. The msp_info_htm handler reads flag=cmd and an attacker-controlled cmd value, inserts that value into a shell command, and passes the result to system(). Exploitation requires a valid web-management session and runs firmware shell commands with the jhttpd service's privileges.
