Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the Tenda 5G03 router firmware version V05.03.02.04. The flaw is located within the 'action_ims_on_with_apn' function in the '/usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/telephony.lua' script. The 'ims_apn' parameter is processed without sufficient sanitization or validation before being passed to a system shell. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request to the '/cgi-bin/luci/admin/telephony/trigger_set_ims_on_with_apn' endpoint, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web service.
