CVE-2026-75984 is a command injection vulnerability in the TRENDnet TEW-823DRU router, specifically affecting version 1.1.02b01. The flaw exists in the /cgi-bin/admin.cgi file where manipulation of the Hostname argument allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3. Exploit code is publicly available, but there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. No patch or remediation information is provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a command injection flaw in the TRENDnet TEW-823DRU router firmware version 1.1.02b01. The issue arises from improper handling of the Hostname argument in the /cgi-bin/admin.cgi endpoint, enabling remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the device. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without user interaction and requires low privileges. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and low to low integrity, availability, and confidentiality impacts. Public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device, potentially compromising device integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This could lead to unauthorized control over the router and disruption of network operations.
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 device's administrative interface from untrusted networks to reduce exposure.
