MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
The command injection vulnerability in the public-facing web CGI (/cgi-bin/wireless.cgi) enables remote exploitation of the network device (T1190), allowing arbitrary command execution indirectly (T1202) or via network device CLI abuse (T1059.008).
NVD Description
A flaw has been found in Wavlink NU516U1 M16U1_V240425. Impacted is the function sub_403010 of the file /cgi-bin/wireless.cgi of the component AddMac Page. This manipulation of the argument macAddr causes command injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The…

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-10958 is a command injection vulnerability affecting the Wavlink NU516U1 M16U1_V240425 firmware. The issue resides in the sub_403010 function within the /cgi-bin/wireless.cgi file, specifically the AddMac Page component, where manipulation of the macAddr argument triggers command injection (CWE-74, CWE-77).
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required, but it necessitates low privileges (PR:L). Attackers can achieve low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
Advisories from VulDB indicate that the vendor was contacted early regarding this disclosure but provided no response, with no patches or official mitigations available. A proof-of-concept exploit has been published on GitHub and may be used by attackers.
In notable context, the published exploit heightens the risk of real-world exploitation for unpatched Wavlink NU516U1 devices running the affected firmware version.
