Root command execution via unsanitized file_id
Published Nov 1, 2026 · Updated Nov 1, 2026
Command injection in WN553X1-B 260403_2.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute root commands via WireGuard requests. In /bin/ioos, sub_419DA8 interpolates file_id into a shell command without sanitization during action=close and executes it through popen. A valid management session is required; injected commands run with the backend's root privileges.
