## Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the 'qmiweb' HTTP daemon of the D-Link DWR-932B router (specifically revision B). The issue stems from improper neutralization of special characters, specifically backticks (`), within web requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the web server. This vulnerability is part of a larger set of security issues identified in this device, including hardcoded credentials and a UDP-based backdoor. No official patch was released by the vendor at the time of disclosure, and the device was reported to be end-of-life or unmaintained.
