CVE-2026-11452
GL.iNet GL-MT3000 SET_USER_PWD glc FUN_0042e200 command injection
Description
A vulnerability has been found in GL.iNet GL-MT3000 up to 4.4.5. Affected is the function FUN_0042e200 of the file /cgi-bin/glc of the component SET_USER_PWD Handler. The manipulation of the argument Password leads to command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 4.8.1 is able to address this issue. The affected component should be upgraded. The vendor explains: " The current code escapes single quotes in the password parameter and handles it inside a shell single‑quote context. The payloads in the report, which rely on $() or backticks to trigger command substitution, are not executed under the current code path. We tested on a GL‑MT3000 device running firmware 4.8.1 using similar payloads, and no command‑execution marker file was created."

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: GL-MT3000 de GL.iNet, Description: Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad en GL.iNet GL-MT3000 hasta la versión 4.4.5. Afectada está la función FUN_0042e200 del archivo /cgi-bin/glc del componente Gestor SET_USER_PWD. La manipulación del argumento Password conduce a inyección de comandos. El ataque puede iniciarse de forma remota. La actualización a la versión 4.8.1 puede solucionar este problema. El componente afectado debería ser actualizado. El proveedor explica: 'El código actual escapa las comillas simples en el parámetro de contraseña y las maneja dentro de un contexto de comillas simples de shell. Las cargas útiles del informe, que dependen de $() o de backticks para activar la sustitución de comandos, no se ejecutan bajo la ruta de código actual. Probamos en un dispositivo GL?MT3000 con firmware 4.8.1 utilizando cargas útiles similares, y no se creó ningún archivo marcador de ejecución de comandos.' -
