Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the GL.iNet GL-MT3000 firmware version 4.4.5 within the FTP Protocol Handler component. The flaw is located in the /cgi-bin/glc file, specifically involving the improper use of snprintf when handling the media_dir argument. An attacker can exploit this by injecting shell metacharacters (such as semicolons and single quotes) into the media_dir parameter, which is subsequently processed by the system without adequate sanitization. This allows for remote, unauthenticated command execution. The vendor has addressed this in version 4.8.1 by implementing the escape_single_quote() function to neutralize malicious payloads before they are written to the FTP configuration.
