What is CVE-2017-16957?

Certain TP-Link networking devices, including models TL-WVR, TL-WAR, TL-ER, and TL-R, expose a security vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. This can be exploited through specially crafted input containing shell metacharacters in the iface field of an admin or diagnostic command. The vulnerability lies in the zone_get_effect_devices function, potentially leading to unauthorized access and control over the affected devices through the web interface.
