Technical details

The set_table CGI handler in /cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi improperly constructs a UCI (OpenWrt configuration) command by directly interpolating the sectiontype field from JSON input into a system() call without shell escaping. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary shell metacharacters (e.g., semicolons) via the jsondata parameter to execute commands with CGI process privileges; a fix is available in firmware version 1.5.1.7.
