Technical details

The /goform/mp endpoint accepts a command parameter in POST requests and passes it unsanitized to a system() call via sprintf(), enabling OS command injection. The vulnerability is pre-authentication and network-accessible, requiring only network access to the router's web interface. An attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the web server process.
