Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the 'get_log_file' function (offset 0x4462d0) within the '/bin/httpd' binary of Tenda AC6 V2.0 (AC1206) firmware version 15.03.06.23. The vulnerability is located in the handling of the '/goform/getLogFile' endpoint. The application retrieves the 'wans.flag' POST parameter using 'websGetVar()' and improperly incorporates it into a system call via 'doSystemCmd()' using a format string like 'echo "%s:" >> <logfile>'. An attacker can escape the double-quote context using shell metacharacters (e.g., '";id;"') to execute arbitrary OS commands. While the attack is reachable over the network, it requires high privileges (valid administrative session).
