Summary
An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the api.cgi cmd.mvpn.x509.write functionality of peplink Surf SOHO HW1 v6.3.5 (in QEMU). A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to command execution. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.This vulnerability is specifically for the `system` call in the file `/web/MANGA/cgi-bin/api.cgi` for firmware version 6.3.5 at offset `0x4bde44`.
