Unauthenticated root command execution via weak denylist
Published Sep 12, 2025 · Updated Sep 12, 2025
Command injection in Wavlink WL-WN578W2 firmware 221110 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary root commands without authentication. The sub_409184 handler takes sel_EncrypTyp from POST requests to /cgi-bin/adm.cgi and concatenates it into a system command after a denylist blocks only pipes and backticks, leaving semicolons and other shell separators usable. The exposed wizard_rep.shtml workflow reaches the handler without a session cookie, enabling device data access, configuration changes, persistent modification, or service interruption.
