Technical details

The /bin/ioos daemon (WAVLINK's CSP web back-end) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the dns_resolution handler (sub_41a430) where user-controlled "data" parameter is embedded unquoted into a shell command passed to popen(). The input validator only rejects semicolons but allows newline characters (\n), enabling bypass by injecting newline-separated commands (e.g., data=8.8.8.8\nid). Exploitation requires either loopback/SSRF access to port 81 or a valid session token; the localhost IP-FROM header bypasses authentication, resulting in unauthenticated remote code execution as root.
