Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Command Injection (CWE-77), which allows attackers to inject arbitrary commands into system command execution. An issue was discovered on GL.iNet devices before 3.216. There is an arbitrary file write in which an empty file can be created anywhere on the filesystem. This is caused by a command injection vulnerability with a filter applied. Through the software installation feature, it is possible to inject arbitrary parameters in a request to cause opkg to read an arbitrary file name while using root privileges. The -f option can be used with a configuration file. Affected products include: Gl-Inet Gl-S20 Firmware, Gl-Inet Gl-X3000 Firmware, Gl-Inet Gl-Mt3000 Firmware, Gl-Inet Gl-Mt2500 Firmware, Gl-Inet Gl-Mt2500A Firmware. Version information: before 3.216..
