Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the IPv6 WAN configuration module where user-supplied IPv6 Gateway values are incorporated into system commands without proper sanitization. An authenticated administrator can exploit this by crafting a malicious IPv6 Gateway input to execute arbitrary commands on the device. The vulnerability requires administrative authentication but allows full command execution at the OS level.
