Authenticated command execution via unvalidated timestr
Published Feb 20, 2026 · Updated Feb 20, 2026
Command injection in COMFAST CF-E7 2.6.0.9 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through an HTTP POST request. In webmggnt function sub_41ACCC, the timestr value is accepted without validation, inserted into a command with sprintf, and passed to system. A valid COMFAST session and disabled NTP are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-chosen shell commands on the router.
