What is CVE-2013-10058?
An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability affects various Linksys router models, including the WRT160Nv2 running firmware v2.0.03. The risk arises from the web interface not properly sanitizing user-supplied input during diagnostic operations via the apply.cgi endpoint. With valid credentials, an attacker could inject arbitrary shell commands, potentially leading to remote code execution.
Affected Version(s)
WRT160nv2 2.0.03
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
