MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques 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 | Two concrete prerequisites must both be satisfied: (1) Adjacent network access - the attacker must be on the same LAN segment or WiFi network as the device; remote exploitation from the internet is not possible without first breaching the network perimeter. (2) High-privilege credentials - administrator-level access to the Comfast web management interface is required (PR:H per CVSS vector). The specific injection points are the 'timestr' and 'display_n' parameters submitted to the /cgi-bin/mbox-config endpoint and processed by /usr/bin/webmgnt. Exploitation is limited by the need to simultaneously control an adjacent-network position and hold admin credentials - however, SOHO devices are frequently deployed with default credentials (admin/admin), which may make the credential requirement trivially satisfiable in practice. No specific non-default configuration flag or feature toggle is identified as a prerequisite beyond standard web management being accessible. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.8 (Medium) reflects two significant real-world mitigators baked into the vector: AV:A (attacker must be on the same network segment as the device - not directly exploitable from the internet) and PR:H (admin-level credentials are required). In practice, SOHO router admin interfaces are often accessible with default or weak credentials, potentially lowering the real-world privilege bar below what PR:H implies. The publicly available PoC on GitHub (confirmed) increases the risk of opportunistic exploitation by lower-skill attackers who have already gained LAN access. Conversely, the EPSS score of 0.19% (9th percentile) confirms no widespread exploitation is currently observed, consistent with the adjacency constraint. No CISA KEV listing. The overall posture is: meaningful targeted risk for devices deployed with default credentials on reachable network segments, but not a mass-exploitation scenario. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has gained adjacent network access to the router's LAN segment - for example, through a compromised internal host or weak WiFi PSK - and possesses admin credentials (e.g., factory defaults) sends a crafted HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/mbox-config with a shell-metacharacter-injected value in the 'timestr' or 'display_n' parameter. The web management process passes the payload unsanitized to the OS shell, executing arbitrary commands as root. The public GitHub PoC demonstrates the injection technique, reducing attacker skill requirements for anyone already meeting the adjacency and credential prerequisites. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 31, 2026
OS command injection in Comfast CF-WR630AX firmware v.2.7.0.2 allows an adjacent-network attacker with administrator-level credentials to execute arbitrary OS commands through the device's web management interface and CGI endpoint via unsanitized parameters. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, though EPSS probability remains very low (0.19%, 9th percentile), indicating minimal observed exploitation activity. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV, and the AV:A/PR:H CVSS vector materially constrains the realistic attacker population.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; check the Comfast vendor site and NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-75363 for updates. As compensating controls: restrict access to the web management interface (/usr/bin/webmgnt and /cgi-bin/mbox-config) to a dedicated management VLAN, enforcing the adjacent-network boundary that AV:A already implies - this prevents LAN users from reaching the interface laterally. Change the default administrator password to a strong, unique credential to raise the real-world bar for the PR:H requirement; default credentials are frequently the path attackers take to satisfy high-privilege prerequisites on SOHO devices. If management access cannot be isolated, consider firewall ACLs blocking HTTP/HTTPS to the management port from untrusted LAN segments. Monitor the public PoC at https://github.com/Flechao1/iot-vuln/tree/main/cve-pocs/CVE-2026-75363 for weaponization updates. If no vendor patch is released within a reasonable timeframe, device replacement should be evaluated.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Comfast CF-WR630AX is a SOHO/SMB WiFi 6 wireless router running firmware version 2.7.0.2. The root cause is CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), a classic OS command injection pattern common in embedded IoT firmware. User-supplied input to the 'timestr' and 'display_n' HTTP parameters in the web management binary (/usr/bin/webmgnt) and CGI handler (/cgi-bin/mbox-config) is passed directly to the underlying Linux shell - likely via system() or popen() - without sanitization or shell metacharacter escaping. In embedded Linux firmware, these processes typically run as root, meaning successful injection yields full system control. The CPE data provided is unpopulated (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*) which prevents automated detection via vulnerability management platforms.
