CVE-2026-61517 Details
Description
Netis NX10 firmware V4.0.1.5808 and V3.0.0.4142 contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the ping diagnostic handler that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary shell commands as root by injecting into the IpAddr parameter. The parameter is interpolated directly into a shell command executed through system() with an incomplete denylist that only blocks spaces, pipes, semicolons, and ampersands, leaving command substitution and alternate field separator expansion available for exploitation.
A command injection vulnerability has been identified in the Netis NX10 router, specifically in firmware versions 4.0.1.5808 and 3.0.0.4142. The issue arises in the ping diagnostic handler, where authenticated administrators can execute arbitrary shell commands as root. This exploitation is achieved by injecting commands into the IpAddr parameter, which is directly passed into a shell command executed via the system() function. The vulnerability exists due to an inadequate denylist that only prevents spaces, pipes, semicolons, and ampersands, leaving command substitution and alternate field separator expansion open for exploitation.
