Linksys e1000 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

Published Jun 23, 2025 · corrected/updated Jun 23, 2025 · Linksys E-Series Routers · evidence confidence very high

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in various models of E-Series Linksys routers via the /tmUnblock.cgi and /hndUnblock.cgi endpoints over HTTP on port 8080. The CGI scripts improperly process user-supplied input passed to the ttcp_ip parameter without sanitization, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject shell commands. This vulnerability was reported to be exploited in the wild by the "TheMoon" worm in 2014 to deploy a MIPS ELF payload, enabling arbitrary code execution on the router. Additionally, this vulnerability may affect other Linksys products to include, but not limite VulnCheck canary evidence.
