Root command execution via unsanitized diagnostics input
Published Jul 21, 2025 · Updated Jul 23, 2025
Command injection in CommScope RUCKUS Unleashed before 200.15.6.212.14 and 200.17.7.0.139 allows remote authenticated users to run commands. The /admin/_cmdstat.jsp diagnostics handler passes the apcmd value for an attacker-selected MAC address to a shell without neutralizing metacharacters. A valid management session is required; injected commands run as root on the selected access point, allowing full control of its data and services.
