Authenticated command execution via unsanitized device name
Published Oct 7, 2025 · Updated Oct 7, 2025
OS command injection in PLANET WGR-500 1.3411b190912 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via UDP. The swctrl command 0x90 builds flash set DEVICE_NAME with the attacker-controlled new_device_name value and passes the result to system without adequate sanitization. Exploitation requires the correct administrator password, DHCP disabled, and a first IP octet other than 127; successful requests execute commands on the appliance.
