CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit the POST /api/tunnel/tailscale-install endpoint in 9Router versions prior to 0.4.44, enabling OS command injection due to a lack of authorization checks. If successfully exploited, attackers can execute arbitrary commands with root privileges, posing a severe risk to system integrity and security. Organizations using affected versions of 9Router should prioritize immediate patching to mitigate this critical threat.

Original NVD Description

9Router before 0.4.44 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the unauthenticated POST /api/tunnel/tailscale-install endpoint (this route is not covered by the dashboard middleware matcher, so no authorization check is applied). The sudoPassword field from the request body is written to the stdin of a 'sudo -S sh' child process. When sudo does not prompt for a password (the process runs as root, NOPASSWD is configured, or a recent sudo timestamp cache exists), the sudoPassword value is interpreted by sh as a shell command, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2026-07-04 (UTC).
