CVE-2026-88710: ASUS Router firmware OS command injection

CVE-2026-88710 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

A command injection vulnerability in certain ASUS router firmware allows an unauthenticated attacker within WiFi range to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. An attacker can bypass authentication through a chain of attacks involving unauthenticated queries and credential overwriting, leading to complete device compromise and potential lateral movement into the network the router protects.

Technologies: ASUS Router Firmware. Vendors: ASUS.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands, allowing unauthenticated command injection. An attacker within adjacent network range can exploit a chain of actions—unauthenticated queries, identifier guessing, and credential overwriting—to inject and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the router. No patch information is currently available in the advisory.
