CVE-2019-10658
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGrandstream GWN7610 before 1.0.8.18 devices allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the filename in a /ubus/controller.icc.update_nds_webroot_from_tmp update_nds_webroot_from_tmp API call.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAuthenticated command injection vulnerability in Grandstream GWN7610 WiFi access points. The update_nds_webroot_from_tmp API endpoint does not sanitize shell metacharacters in the filename parameter, allowing authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected device.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelAccess the web management interface and locate the device information page, or use SNMP/network discovery to identify the device model. Confirm it is a Grandstream GWN7610 WiFi access point.Affected if The device model is Grandstream GWN7610
-
Check the firmware versionIn the web interface, navigate to the Status or System Info page to view the current firmware version. Alternatively, check via SNMP or the device's command-line interface if accessible.Affected if The installed firmware version is lower than 1.0.8.18
-
Verify web interface accessibilityConfirm the device's web management interface is reachable on the network. Since CVE-2019-10658 requires authentication, determine if the administrative interface is exposed to untrusted networks.Affected if The web interface is accessible from networks outside the trusted administrative zone
-
Confirm authentication to the web interfaceVerify if default or known credentials are in use, or check whether user authentication is required to access the device's management functions.Affected if An attacker can obtain valid administrative credentials to access the update_nds_webroot_from_tmp API endpoint
The environment is affected if the device is a Grandstream GWN7610 running firmware version lower than 1.0.8.18 with its web interface accessible to untrusted users who can obtain administrative authentication.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data1.0.8.18
Upgrade firmware to version 1.0.8.18 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict administrative access to the device's web interface to trusted networks or IP addresses.
