Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-2846 is an OS command injection vulnerability affecting UTT HiPER 520 version 1.7.7-160105. The issue resides in the function sub_44D264 within the file /goform/formPdbUpConfig of the Web Management Interface, where manipulation of the policyNames argument enables command injection. It is classified under CWE-77 and CWE-78, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability was published on 2026-02-20.
An attacker with high privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation grants high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary OS command execution on the affected device.
Advisories from VulDB (ctiid.347082, id.347082, submit.753964) and a GitHub repository (cha0yang1/UTT520CVE/blob/main/UTTRCE1.md) provide further details, including a publicly disclosed exploit that may be used in attacks.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops construction of commands from untrusted data containing special elements.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and neutralization that prevent command injection.
Runtime monitoring of software and data can detect anomalous command execution resulting from injection.
Identifying recorded vulnerabilities enables remediation of command-injection flaws before exploitation.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.
Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent command injection.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.
Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.
Environment separation limits the blast radius of an exploited command injection but does not prevent the flaw itself.
