Operationally, ranked in the top 9.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis

IP-COM M50 firmware version V15.11.0.33(10768) contains multiple OS command injection flaws (CWE-78) in the formSetDebugCfg function. The issues are triggered by unsanitized input in the pEnable, pLevel, and pModule parameters and carry a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can supply crafted values to these parameters and execute arbitrary commands on the device, resulting in full control over the affected router. No user interaction or credentials are required.

The listed references consist of researcher notes hosted on HackMD that describe the vulnerable parameters and proof-of-concept details; they contain no vendor advisory, patch information, or mitigation guidance. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0532 with no material increase since disclosure.
