## Technical details

This vulnerability (CWE-78) is an OS command injection flaw located within the web management interface of ASUS routers. The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command, specifically via a crafted parameter. While the primary description indicates an authenticated administrator is required, historical analysis notes suggest a potential Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) component (CWE-352) that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to trigger the command execution if a logged-in administrator visits a malicious site. An attacker can achieve full system-level command execution on the device. ASUS has released firmware updates to address this issue, and users are advised to update to versions beyond 3.0.0.6_102.

## Affected products

- ASUS Router Firmware up to (including) 3.0.0.6_102

## Timeline

- 2026-03-25: disclosed
- 2026-03-26: advisory
- 2026-05-13: other: Advisory updated to clarify OS command injection details and update CVSS scores.
