Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

There is a command injection vulnerability in Shenzhen Tenda Ac9, Ac15, and Ac18 devices that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands. This issue arises from improper input handling in the 'sub_A6E8 usbeject_process_entry' function.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can remotely gain full control over the system, potentially leading to serious security breaches within the local network. Consequently, the organization may lose the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its data.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the device firmware to the latest version that addresses this vulnerability. Additionally, access to the device management interface should be restricted to trusted IP addresses.

Command Injection vulnerability in app_data_center on Shenzhen Tenda Ac9 US_AC9V1.0BR_V15.03.05.14_multi_TD01, Ac9 ac9_kf_V15.03.05.19(6318_)_cn, Ac15 US_AC15V1.0BR_V15.03.05.18_multi_TD01, Ac15 US_AC15V1.0BR_V15.03.05.19_multi_TD01, Ac18 US_AC18V1.0BR_V15.03.05.05_multi_TD01, and Ac18 ac18_kf_V15.03.05.19(6318_)_cn devices allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via a crafted cgi-bin/luci/usbeject?dev_name= GET request from the LAN. This occurs because the "sub_A6E8 usbeject_process_entry" function executes a system function with untrusted input.
