What is CVE-2021-20153?

The Trendnet AC2600 TEW-827DRU router version 2.08B01 contains a symlink vulnerability within its bittorrent functionality. When this feature is enabled, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability by utilizing a maliciously crafted flash drive. If inserted into the router, the device can be tricked into downloading files to arbitrary locations on its filesystem, including sensitive directories like 'config', 'downloads', and 'torrents'. This exposure can potentially allow remote code execution, particularly through the 'downloads' directory where arbitrary files can be redirected.
