Technical details

The vulnerability is a command injection flaw in the s2s.so native plugin, specifically in the s2s.enable_echo_server function accessible via /cgi-bin/glc. The root cause is insufficient input validation on the port parameter, allowing an attacker to inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary system commands. The attack vector is remote and requires no authentication. An attacker can manipulate the port argument to execute commands with the privileges of the web server process, potentially achieving remote code execution and full device compromise. The vendor confirmed the vulnerability; patch status is not explicitly stated in the advisory.
