Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the UTT nv518G router (firmware version nv518GV3v3.2.7-210919-161313) within the 'gohead/sub_44af70' component. The issue stems from a lack of input sanitization on parameters such as 'staticGateway' passed to the 'doSystem()' function. By injecting shell metacharacters (e.g., ';', '|', or '$()') into a POST request, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary system commands with root privileges. This allows for full device compromise, including data interception and persistent access. While the NVD entry initially categorized this as Denial of Service, the technical proof-of-concept confirms arbitrary command execution.
