Description

  • This remote command execution vulnerability exists in HUAWEI HG532 routers, as disclosed by Check Point security researchers.
  • The TR-064 implementation in Huawei devices is exposed to the WAN through port 37215 (UPnP). Within the device’s UPnP description, there is a service called DeviceUpgrade, which performs firmware upgrades by sending requests to /ctrlt/DeviceUpgrade_1 (referred to as the controlURL).
  • This is executed through two elements: NewStatusURL and NewDownloadURL.
  • The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by injecting shell metacharacters "$()" into NewStatusURL and NewDownloadURL.
