Title
Command Injection in Parent Control of TP-Link Archer BE3600 v1
Summary
A stored OS
command injection vulnerability exists in the parent-control module of TP-Link
Archer BE3600 V1. An authenticated adjacent attacker with administrative access
may store a crafted profile name containing shell metacharacters, which is
later processed unsafely during daily cloud report generation and may result in
arbitrary command execution.
Successful
exploitation may allow command execution on the affected device with potential
impact to device confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
