CVE-2026-52192: UTT nv518G command injection in gohead/sub_445C5C

CVE-2026-52192 · Severity: info · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-07-02

A vulnerability exists in the UTT nv518G enterprise router that allows an attacker to take complete control of the device. By sending a specially crafted network request, a remote attacker can bypass security controls to execute system commands. This could lead to the theft of sensitive data, interception of network traffic, or a total shutdown of the router's services.

Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the UTT nv518G router (firmware version nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313) within the gohead/sub_445C5C component. The root cause is the unsafe use of the sprintf function to construct a system command string using the 'serialNo' parameter without proper sanitization. Specifically, the code executes 'rm -f %s%s.xml' via doSystem(), where the second format string is populated by user-controlled input. An attacker can use shell metacharacters (e.g., ';', '|', or '$()') to break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary code with system privileges. While the initial advisory mentions Denial of Service, the technical analysis confirms full remote code execution (RCE).
