CVE-2020-7805
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered on KT Slim egg IML500 (R7283, R8112, R8424) and IML520 (R8112, R8368, R8411) wifi device. This issue is a command injection allowing attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands.
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 · moderate confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in KT Slim egg IML500 and IML520 wifi devices allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands through unsanitized input fields in the device's web interface or API.

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 device's web interface or physically inspect the device label to confirm it is an Infomark IML500 or IML520 model.Affected if The device is an Infomark IML500 or IML520 unit.
-
Check the firmware versionLog into the device web interface and navigate to the settings or about page to locate the firmware version information.Affected if The firmware version is 29.8.2018 or earlier.
-
Verify web interface accessibilityDetermine if the device web interface (HTTP/HTTPS on ports 80 or 443) is accessible from network segments beyond the local administrative network.Affected if The web interface is exposed to network segments where untrusted users could access the input fields.
-
Identify exposed API endpointsReview network access logs or perform a port scan to determine if the device API endpoints are reachable from non-local networks.Affected if API endpoints are reachable from external or untrusted network segments.
-
Review input field exposureAccess the web interface and identify which input fields (such as configuration or login fields) are present and accessible without authentication.Affected if Unsantized input fields in the web interface or API are accessible to attackers.
You are affected if you have an Infomark IML500 or IML520 device running firmware version 29.8.2018 or earlier, with its web interface or API accessible to network attackers.

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 dataIf vendor firmware updates are unavailable, implement network segmentation to isolate affected devices and deploy WAF/IPS rules to detect and block command injection attempts.
