CVE-2026-71955: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in D-Link Corporation DWR-M961
D-Link DWR-M961 devices with hardware version C1 and software version 1.1.2_C1_202602110044 contain a command injection vulnerability in the /boafrm/formWsc interface. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary malicious commands into the localPin, targetAPSsid, peerPin, and peerRptPin fields, resulting in command execution with root privileges.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The D-Link DWR-M961 router, hardware version C1 and software version 1.1.2_C1_202602110044, contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the /boafrm/formWsc interface. Remote attackers can exploit this by injecting arbitrary commands into the localPin, targetAPSsid, peerPin, and peerRptPin fields. Successful exploitation results in execution of commands with root privileges, posing a critical security risk. The CVSS 4.0 score is 9.3, reflecting high impact and ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary commands on the affected device with root privileges, potentially leading to full device compromise. This can affect device integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected interface and monitor for suspicious activity related to the /boafrm/formWsc endpoint.
