Command execution via unquoted password interpolation
Published Jul 14, 2025 · Updated Jul 16, 2025
Command injection in Wavlink WN535K3 firmware 20191010 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted request. The set_sys_adm function interpolates the newpass value into an unquoted shell command string and passes that string to system without neutralizing shell metacharacters. The CGI endpoint must be network reachable; the published request carries a session cookie even though CISA rates privileges required as none.
