What is CVE-2017-17757?

TP-Link TL-WVR and TL-WAR devices are susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability. This issue arises when remote authenticated users exploit shell metacharacters in the 'interface' field of an admin/wportal command directed to cgi-bin/luci. This flaw is linked to the get_device_byif function in /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/wportal.lua within the uhttpd web server, potentially allowing unauthorized command execution.
