What is CVE-2017-16958?

A vulnerability exists in various TP-Link networking devices that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. This is achieved through manipulation of shell metacharacters in the t_bindif field within an admin/bridge command to cgi-bin/luci. The issue is tied to the get_device_byif function found in /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/bridge.lua, which does not properly validate input, enabling exploitation by unauthorized commands.
