CVE-2024-8869Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via exportOvpn

Published Sep 15, 2024 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

OS command injection in TOTOLINK A720R 4.1.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through the exportOvpn function. The public record identifies exportOvpn as the affected locus but does not disclose which input reaches an operating-system command or how validation fails. Access to the router management interface is required, and successful injection can read or alter data and interrupt the router service.
