Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 router (firmware up to 4.4.5) within the iwinfo_backend function of the iwinfo.so library, part of the MTK Backend component. The issue stems from improper neutralization of the 'device' argument, allowing an attacker to inject malicious commands. While the attack can be executed remotely over the network, it requires low-level privileges (PR:L). Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary command execution on the underlying operating system. A public exploit has been released. The vendor has addressed this in version 4.7 by implementing global injection protection in the SDK.
