CVE-2026-26795Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Root command execution via unsanitized module parameter

Published Mar 12, 2026 · Updated Mar 12, 2026

Command injection in GL-iNet GL-AR300M16 firmware 4.3.11 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands as root. M.get_system_log in logread.lua passes the module value into string.format and embeds the result in a shell command without sanitization or validation. A valid administrative session token is required by the published request, after which injected shell syntax runs with root privileges.
