Authenticated command execution via traceRoute pt parameter
Published Mar 21, 2025 · Updated Mar 21, 2025
Command injection in Linksys E5600 firmware 1.1.0.26 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through the traceroute interface. The traceRoute function places the attacker-controlled pt parameter into a command without neutralizing command delimiters before execution. Access to the router's authenticated management interface is required, and successful injection can read or alter data and interrupt router services.
