CVE-2026-38702
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 command injection vulnerability exists in the Admin Access feature of InHand Networks IR302 firmware V3.5.108, IR305 firmware V1.0.118, IR315 firmware V1.0.118, IR615 firmware V1.0.118, and earlier versions. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to obtain ROOT privileges on remote target devices.
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 confidenceA command injection vulnerability exists in the Admin Access feature of InHand Networks IR302, IR305, IR315, and IR615 firmware. Attackers can inject arbitrary commands through the Admin Access interface, achieving ROOT privilege escalation on affected devices.

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 your InHand Networks device modelCheck the device label, web interface header, or CLI output for the exact model (IR302, IR305, IR315, or IR615). This is required because version thresholds differ by model.Affected if The device is one of the four affected models (IR302, IR305, IR315, IR615).
-
Determine the installed firmware versionLog into the device web interface and navigate to System > Status, or use CLI (SSH/Telnet) and run 'version' or 'show version' to obtain the firmware build number.Affected if The firmware version is lower than the threshold for your model: IR315 < 1.0.121, IR302 < 3.5.112, IR615 < 1.0.121, or IR305 < 1.0.121.
-
Verify Admin Access feature statusIn the web interface, go to System > Admin Access or Security > Admin Access to confirm whether this feature is enabled. If using CLI, check for admin access configuration commands.Affected if Admin Access is enabled on the device.
-
Check network exposure of Admin AccessReview firewall rules, ACLs, or network segmentation to determine if the Admin Access interface (typically HTTP/HTTPS on ports 80/443 or management ports) is reachable from untrusted networks or the internet.Affected if Admin Access is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet without proper access controls.
You are affected if your device is an IR302, IR305, IR315, or IR615 running firmware below the specified version threshold AND Admin Access is enabled and reachable from an untrusted network.
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 · scoped1.0.1213.5.112
Apply vendor firmware updates when available; if no patch exists, consider network segmentation and disabling Admin Access from untrusted networks as interim controls. Restrict administrative interfaces to trusted networks only.
Ir315: >=1.0.121 | Ir302: >=3.5.112 | Ir615: >=1.0.121 | Ir305: >=1.0.121
- 1. Identify the exact InHand Networks IR device model (IR302, IR305, IR315, or IR615) in your environment
- 2. Determine the current firmware version by accessing the device's web interface or using the CLI command `show version`
- 3. Download the appropriate firmware update from the official InHand Networks website (www.inhand.com) or authorized support portal
- 4. For each affected device, access the Admin Access section in the web management interface
- 5. Navigate to the Firmware Upgrade or System Maintenance section
- 6. Upload the new firmware file (version 1.0.121 or later for IR305/IR315/IR615; version 3.5.112 or later for IR302)
- 7. Wait for the upload to complete and the device to reboot automatically
- 8. After reboot, verify the new firmware version is installed by checking `show version`
