1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

GL-iNet GL-AR300M16 running firmware v4.3.11 with M.get_system_log function accessible. No authentication required; remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations.

Impact

CVSS 9.8 (Critical). Same risk profile as CVE-2026-26791 and CVE-2026-26792. The pattern of multiple injection points suggests the router's entire web interface lacks input sanitization. EPSS 0.17%.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker exploits the system log endpoint to inject commands via the module parameter, gaining root shell access to the router.

DescriptionCVE.org

GL-iNet GL-AR300M16 v4.3.11 was discovered to contain a command injection vulnerability via the module parameter in the M.get_system_log function. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted input.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-26795) affecting GL-iNet GL-AR300M16 routers allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands with a 9.8 CVSS score. Organizations using this device model are at immediate risk of complete system compromise, data theft, and network infiltration. No vendor patch is currently available, requiring immediate mitigation actions.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Disable the system log function if operationally feasible; restrict network access to the device management interface via firewall rules and VPN-only access; implement WAF rules to filter requests containing command injection patterns (pipe, semicolon, backtick characters) in the module parameter; enable detailed logging and monitoring of the affected function for suspicious activity; consider replacing affected devices with patched hardware from alternative vendors until a patch is available.
