Authenticated command execution via unsanitized SMS identifier
Published Jan 29, 2026 · Updated Jan 29, 2026
Command injection in D-Link DWR-M961 1.1.47 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary shell commands through SMS deletion. In sub_41A488, action_value tokens are interpolated by sprintf into an at-mngr command and passed unsanitized to system(). A valid administrative session and action_id=delete are required; shell metacharacters then permit commands with the router service's privileges.
