CVE-2026-41036: CWE-78 Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('OS command injection') in Quantum Networks Router QN-I-470
CVE-2026-41036 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Quantum Networks Router QN-I-470 that allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges via the management CLI interface due to improper input sanitization. This vulnerability affects version 6. 1. 1. B1 of the product. There is no official patch or remediation level currently provided by the vendor. Exploitation requires authentication but does not require user interaction. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands (CWE-78) in the management CLI interface of the Quantum Networks Router QN-I-470. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary OS commands, leading to remote code execution with root privileges. The vulnerability affects version 6.1.1.B1 and has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high severity. No vendor advisory or patch information is available at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges on the affected device, potentially leading to full system compromise. This could impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the router and any network relying on it.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the management CLI interface to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid exposing the management interface to untrusted networks.
