CVE-2026-108929: Netcore NR268 DDNS argument injection

CVE-2026-108929 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.9 · Published 2026-10-12

Netcore NR268 is a home router that manages dynamic DNS (DDNS) settings to keep the router accessible even when its IP address changes. An authenticated attacker can inject extra command-line arguments into the DDNS helper process by manipulating the hostname field, potentially rearranging how the router processes DDNS credentials and configuration. This could allow an attacker to disrupt DDNS functionality or alter its behavior.

Technologies: Netcore NR268. Vendors: Netcore.

Technical details

An argument injection vulnerability exists in /router/DDNSset.cgi where the hostname parameter is copied without proper escaping and then space-tokenized before being passed to execvp(). An authenticated attacker can inject spaces into the hostname field to create additional argv tokens that reshape the underlying DDNS helper command invocation running as root. The vulnerability requires HTTP Basic authentication but allows modification of DDNS provider arguments, credentials handling, and network interface configuration.
