Authenticated command execution via NTP timestr injection
Published Feb 16, 2026 · Updated Feb 16, 2026
Command injection in COMFAST CF-E4 2.6.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through its web interface. The ntp_timezone HTTP POST handler accepts attacker-controlled timestr content without neutralizing command syntax; the exact function is undisclosed. Administrative access to the management interface is required, and executed commands can read or alter data or interrupt device operation.
