Wavlink WL-WN592AX6: OS command injection in wmapd daemon
Summary
Wavlink WL-WN592AX6 routers with firmware 250422 contain an OS command injection flaw in the wmapd daemon. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can inject operating system commands by manipulating requests, which can lead to full compromise of the device. A public exploit is reported to exist, but not all sources confirm its availability. No vendor fix has been published at the time of review.
Affected
- Wavlink WL-WN592AX6, firmware 250422
- Other firmware versions: Unknown.
Fixed in
Unknown. Wavlink has not published a fixed firmware build at the time of review.
Workaround
- Remove any internet exposure of the management and web interface and confirm that no port forwarding or WAN-side administration is active.
- Isolate the device in a separate network zone and restrict its access to internal systems.
- No vendor workaround is published.
Exploitation
- Exploited in the wild: Unknown. Not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
- Public exploit: sources conflict. The CVE description states that an exploit has been published, so assume one exists.
- CISA SSVC: exploitation PoC, automatable yes, technical impact total.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all WL-WN592AX6 devices and confirm the firmware build; 250422 is affected.
- Remove internet exposure of the management interface now.
- Isolate the device and limit its reach to internal networks.
- Check Wavlink's firmware page and support channels regularly for a fixed build.
- Replace the device if it cannot be isolated or if no fix is published within a reasonable time.
- Monitor the router's logs and outbound traffic for anomalies.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
