Unauthenticated command execution via unsanitized lang parameter
Published May 24, 2026 · Updated May 24, 2026
OS command injection in the A8000RU 7.1cu.643_b20200521 web interface allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. The setLanguageCfg handler formats the untrusted lang value into a command passed through CsteSystem to execv without neutralizing shell syntax. The published request includes a session cookie, although the CNA rates privileges as unnecessary; successful exploitation executes commands on the router.
