CVE-2026-71908Network attack vector

Root command execution via unsanitized mesh speed-test fields

Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 24, 2026

OS command injection in six DrayTek VigorAP models allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. The mesh_start_speed_test function passes insufficiently sanitized meshdevice_index and meshdevice_ip values into an operating-system command. Administrative web-interface credentials are required, and DrayTek reports no known trigger, exploit method, or practical attack path in deployments.
