4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 2.2.01b05. Affected is an unknown function of the file /cgi-bin/upload.cgi of the component ssi. Performing a manipulation of the argument filename results in command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 2.2.01b05 allows remote low-privileged attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the filename argument in the /cgi-bin/upload.cgi CGI endpoint's SSI component. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, raising the operational risk above what the vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 suggests. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold at least low-level authenticated access to the TEW-821DAP web management interface, as confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N with all-Low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts across both vulnerable and subsequent systems) appears conservative for a command injection primitive in embedded networking firmware, where OS command execution on the device typically implies full administrative compromise - configuration exfiltration, persistent backdoor installation, and use of the device as a network pivot point. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained low-privileged authentication credentials to the TEW-821DAP management interface - for example, by using default SOHO credentials - sends a crafted HTTP POST request to `/cgi-bin/upload.cgi` with a `filename` value containing shell metacharacters such as semicolons or backticks. The SSI processing layer passes the unsanitized filename to a shell command, executing the attacker's payload with the privilege level of the web server process on the device. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified in the provided data; affected versions are inferred from NVD CPE and EUVD data only. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
