CVE-2026-4467: Command Injection in Comfast CF-AC100
CVE-2026-4467 is a command injection vulnerability affecting Comfast CF-AC100 version 2. 6. 0. 8. The flaw exists in the /cgi-bin/mbox-config endpoint, specifically when handling the 'method=SET§ion=wireless_device_dissoc' parameter. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the device. Although the vendor was notified, no patch or response has been provided. The CVSS 4. 0 score is 5. 1, indicating medium severity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-4467 is a medium-severity command injection vulnerability found in Comfast CF-AC100 wireless access point firmware version 2.6.0.8. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function accessed via the CGI endpoint /cgi-bin/mbox-config with parameters 'method=SET§ion=wireless_device_dissoc'. Improper input validation or sanitization allows an attacker to inject arbitrary commands that the device executes with elevated privileges. The attack vector is remote network access without requiring user interaction, but it requires high privileges, likely meaning some form of authentication or elevated access is necessary. The vendor was informed early but has not issued a patch or mitigation guidance. The vulnerability could allow attackers to compromise device confidentiality, integrity, and availability by executing arbitrary commands, potentially leading to full device takeover, disruption of wireless services, or pivoting into internal networks. Public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation despite no confirmed active attacks. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This vulnerability highlights the risks of unpatched embedded device firmware in network infrastructure.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows remote command injection, which can lead to full compromise of the affected Comfast CF-AC100 device. This can result in unauthorized access to network traffic, disruption of wireless connectivity, and potential lateral movement within corporate or service provider networks. Organizations relying on these devices for critical wireless infrastructure may face service outages, data breaches, or persistent attacker footholds. The lack of vendor response and patch increases the window of exposure. Attackers with network access and high privileges could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands, modify device configurations, or deploy malware. The impact extends beyond individual devices to the broader network environment, potentially affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of enterprise or ISP networks. Given the public availability of exploit code, the risk of exploitation is elevated, especially in environments where these devices are deployed without compensating controls.
Mitigation Recommendations
Since no official patch or vendor guidance is available, organizations should implement compensating controls immediately. These include isolating affected devices on segmented networks with strict access controls to limit administrative access. Disable or restrict access to the vulnerable CGI endpoint if possible, using firewall rules or web application firewalls. Monitor network traffic and device logs for suspicious commands or unauthorized configuration changes. Change default credentials and enforce strong authentication mechanisms to reduce the risk of privilege escalation. Consider replacing or upgrading devices to models with vendor-supported firmware that addresses this vulnerability. If feasible, deploy network intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures targeting known exploit patterns for this CVE. Regularly audit device firmware versions and configurations to identify and remediate vulnerable instances. Maintain heightened vigilance for any signs of compromise related to this vulnerability.
