Authenticated root command execution via unsanitized timestr
Published Aug 21, 2026 · Updated Aug 21, 2026
OS command injection in COMFAST CF-N1-S 2.6.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP POST request. The webmgnt function sub_41AD7C passes the user-controlled timestr value through sprintf without validation and supplies the resulting date command to system. A valid session, a nonempty timestr value, and ntp_client_enabled set to 0 are required; successful exploitation executes commands as root.
