CVE-2026-58457: Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater Unauthenticated OS Command Injection

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has disclosed CVE-2026-58457, an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability affecting the Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater (hardware model MT02). This critical flaw allows network-adjacent attackers to achieve full root-level control over the device. Attackers can leverage the smacfilter_conf handler in the commuos web backend by injecting unsanitized input into the 'name', 'enable', or 'mac' GET parameters. This vulnerability stems from the device's firmware improperly handling user-supplied data, passing it directly to sprintf() and then executing it via doSystemCmdComlib(), making these devices highly susceptible to compromise without authentication.

Attack Chain

1. Attacker identifies an internet-facing or network-adjacent Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater.
2. Attacker crafts a malicious HTTP GET request targeting the /commuos/smacfilter_conf handler in the device's web backend.
3. The request includes a payload appended with semicolon-delimited OS commands within the 'name', 'enable', or 'mac' GET parameters (e.g., ?name=test;id).
4. The vulnerable commuos web backend receives the request and processes the injected parameters without proper sanitization.
5. The unsanitized input, including the attacker's OS command, is concatenated into a command string using sprintf().
6. The doSystemCmdComlib() function executes the malformed command string with root privileges on the device's underlying operating system.
7. Attacker gains full root-level control over the Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater.
8. Attacker can then perform actions such as installing backdoors, modifying network configurations, or launching further attacks from the compromised device.

Impact

A successful exploitation of CVE-2026-58457 grants network-adjacent attackers unauthenticated, full root-level control over the Shenzhen Aitemi M300 Wi-Fi Repeater. This level of access allows attackers to completely compromise the device, potentially reconfiguring it for malicious purposes, intercepting network traffic, launching denial-of-service attacks, or establishing a foothold within the victim's network. Given the nature of Wi-Fi repeaters, compromised devices could become an entry point for lateral movement or data exfiltration from connected devices on the network, posing a significant risk to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability for home and small office networks.
