Summary

The Netgear WNR854T router, specifically version 1.5.2 in North America, contains a command injection vulnerability that can be exploited by an attacker. By sending a specially crafted request to the router's post.cgi endpoint, an attacker can manipulate the nvram parameter 'wan_hostname' to execute arbitrary commands. This action forces the device to reboot and could lead to unauthorized control over the router, exposing users to potential further security breaches.
