DescriptionCVE.org

WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU router is vulnerable to OS command injection vulnerability. The vulnerability exists within the /cgi-bin/portal.cgi endpoint, specifically through the cli_cookie POST parameter. The cli_cookie parameter value is directly concatenated into a find command string without proper sanitization. This allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands as root on the underlying operating system.

This issue has been fixed in firmware version 1.1.0.651412

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated OS command injection in the WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU router (firmware below 1.1.0.651412) lets an attacker on the adjacent network run arbitrary shell commands as root through a crafted cli_cookie parameter POSTed to /cgi-bin/portal.cgi. Because the affected parameter is concatenated straight into a shell 'find' command with no sanitization, successful exploitation yields full root-level control of the device - high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - and the CVSS 4.0 score of 9.4 reflects that severity. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the device's /cgi-bin/portal.cgi endpoint and the ability to send an HTTP POST with a crafted cli_cookie parameter; no authentication and no user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), and default firmware below 1.1.0.651412 is vulnerable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuinely high-priority flaw where the signals are mostly consistent. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade the T-Mobile 5G Box IDU to firmware 1.1.0.651412 or later, which the vendor confirms resolves the command injection; because this is carrier-managed CPE, updates are typically delivered via T-Mobile/WNC OTA or the device's management interface, and owners should verify the running version after the update rather than assume it applied. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all WNC T-Mobile 5G Box IDU routers with firmware versions below 1.1.0.651412 and apply the vendor patch to version 1.1.0.651412 or later; if patching is not immediately feasible, isolate these devices on a separate network segment and restrict management interface access. …
