Wavlink NU516U1 Command Injection Vulnerability in Wireless CGI DeleteMac Page

Vulnerability

A command injection vulnerability has been identified in the Wavlink NU516U1 router, specifically in the firmware version M16U1_V240425. The issue arises in the DeleteMac page within the wireless.cgi file, where the delete_list parameter can be manipulated to execute arbitrary commands. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and a public proof-of-concept exploit is available.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for arbitrary command execution on the affected device.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to the /cgi-bin/wireless.cgi endpoint with the page parameter set to DeleteMac.
