Submit #873917: GL.iNet Router 4.8.x RCEinfo

TitleGL.iNet Router 4.8.x RCE
Description The Wi-Fi timer power-schedule feature stores switch_power and restore_power without enforcing the expected transmit-power enum. The timer service later writes these values into root cron entries. Impact ● Execute arbitrary commands as root. ● Modify persistent router configuration. ● Change DNS, firewall, NAT, routing, or Wi-Fi behavior. ● Read sensitive files available to root. ● Install persistence or alter scheduled tasks. ● Pivot from the router into connected networks. https://github.com/gl-inet/CVE-issues/blob/main/4.0.0/Wi-Fi%20Timer%20Power-Schedule%20Cron%20RCE.md
