DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in Wavlink WL-WN578W2 221110. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /cgi-bin/firewall.cgi of the component POST Request Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument dmz_flag/del_flag results in command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Wavlink WL-WN578W2 routers contain a command injection vulnerability in the /cgi-bin/firewall.cgi POST handler that allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands by manipulating the dmz_flag or del_flag parameters. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and has public exploit code available, though no patch has been released. An attacker with network access and valid credentials could achieve code execution with the privileges of the web service.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a command injection flaw (CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command) in the firewall configuration CGI script of the Wavlink WL-WN578W2 router. The affected component is the POST request handler at /cgi-bin/firewall.cgi, which fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the dmz_flag and del_flag parameters before passing them to system commands. This allows attackers to break out of the intended command context and inject arbitrary shell commands that execute with the privileges of the web server process. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:wavlink:wl-wn578w2 confirms this is specific to the WL-WN578W2 model, version 221110 and potentially other versions in this product line.

RemediationAI

No official firmware patch has been released from Wavlink. Users should immediately change the default administrative credentials on the device to a strong, unique password and restrict web interface access to trusted IP addresses only via firewall rules on the upstream network. Consider disabling remote management features and implementing network segmentation to isolate the router from critical systems. Monitor for suspicious firewall.cgi requests in access logs. For environments requiring higher security, consider replacing the Wavlink WL-WN578W2 with an alternative device from a vendor with active security response, or implement a secondary security appliance upstream of the router.
