Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-45986 is a command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-77, that affects multiple LB-LINK Blink router models including BL-WR9000 V2.4.9, BL-AC2100_AZ3 V1.0.4, BL-X10_AC8 v1.0.5, BL-LTE300 v1.2.3, BL-F1200_AT1 v1.0.0, BL-X26_AC8 v1.2.8, BLAC450M_AE4 v4.0.0, and BL-X26_DA3 v1.2.7. The flaw resides in the bs_SetMacBlack function and is triggered through the mac parameter, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.

Unauthenticated attackers with network access can supply crafted input to the affected parameter and execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the device. Successful exploitation grants complete control over the router, enabling actions that impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability without requiring user interaction or credentials.

The single public reference is a technical disclosure containing proof-of-concept details for the injection vector; no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the available sources. The associated EPSS score sits at 0.1330 with no indicated change since publication.
