| Title | WAVLINK NU516U1 2026-05-15 (build 708c073-mt7628) Command Injection |
|---|
| Description | WAVLINK NU516U1 has an OS command injection vulnerability in the `adm.cgi` init handler. The `set_sys_adm` page handler stores the admin password to UCI config without sanitization. At boot time, the init handler reads the password back and interpolates it into a double-quoted shell command via `sprintf()` → `system()`. An authenticated attacker can set the password to `$(cmd)` which is evaluated by the shell when `system()` executes the resulting string at next boot, achieving persistent code execution as root.
Unlike typical command injection where the payload executes immediately, this is a stored injection: the payload persists in flash config and triggers on every boot cycle. |
