CVE-2026-10871
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 · uneditedA vulnerability has been found in Shibby Tomato 1.28.0000. This vulnerability affects the function start_6rd_tunnel of the file /sbin/rc of the component Web UI. Such manipulation of the argument ipv6_6rd_borderrelay leads to os command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This project is superseded by FreshTomato.
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 confidenceOS command injection vulnerability in Shibby Tomato 1.28.0000 Web UI allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the ipv6_6rd_borderrelay argument passed to the start_6rd_tunnel function in /sbin/rc. The argument is not properly sanitized before being used in a system call.

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 Shibby Tomato firmwareCheck the router's web interface status page or run 'nvram get ttomato_version' via SSH/telnet to confirm the firmware name and versionAffected if The firmware is Shibby Tomato version 1.28.0000 specifically
-
Verify IPv6 6rd tunnel configurationAccess the router's Web UI and navigate to the IPv6 configuration section; check if 6rd tunnel is enabled or if the ipv6_6rd_borderrelay parameter is set. Alternatively, run 'nvram get ipv6_6rd_borderrelay' via CLI to see the current valueAffected if The IPv6 6rd tunnel feature is enabled or the ipv6_6rd_borderrelay parameter contains a value (is not empty)
-
Confirm Web UI accessibilityAttempt to access the router's Web UI from the network. Check if the Web interface is listening on HTTP/HTTPS ports (typically 80/443)Affected if The Web UI is accessible remotely (not limited to localhost only) and the router is exposed to the network
A system is affected if it runs Shibby Tomato 1.28.0000, has IPv6 6rd tunnel feature configured (ipv6_6rd_borderrelay parameter is set), and has the Web UI accessible to network attackers.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to FreshTomato (the successor project) which should contain patched code, or if continued use of Shibby Tomato is required, apply input validation/sanitization to the ipv6_6rd_borderrelay parameter in the start_6rd_tunnel function to prevent command injection.
FreshTomato (latest stable release - the successor to Shibby Tomato)
- 1. Backup current router configuration before any firmware changes
- 2. Download the latest FreshTomato firmware from the official FreshTomato project (as Shibby Tomato is no longer maintained)
- 3. Access the router's web interface and navigate to Administration > Firmware Upgrade
- 4. Upload the FreshTomato firmware file and allow the upgrade process to complete
- 5. After reboot, verify the router is running FreshTomato and reconfigure any custom settings
- 6. Confirm the ipv6_6rd_borderrelay functionality is no longer present or has been re-implemented securely in FreshTomato
