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
This vulnerability exists in Quantum Networks router due to inadequate sanitization of user-supplied input in the management CLI interface. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary OS commands on the targeted device. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to perform remote code execution with root privileges on the targeted device.
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.
