CVE-2026-38714
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 · uneditedInHand Networks IR912 V1.0.0.r20042 and IR915 V1.0.0.r20042 (including earlier versions) were discovered to contain a command injection vulnerability in the Python configuration function. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root via a crafted input.
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 confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in the Python configuration function of InHand Networks IR912 and IR915 routers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root via crafted input, achieving maximum impact with CVSS 9.8.

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 management interface or check the device label to confirm the model is IR912 or IR915 (variants include IR912L FQ58 or IR915L FQ39 S)Affected if The device is not an IR912 or IR915 model
-
Check the installed firmware versionLog into the device web interface or use SNMP/CLI to query the firmware version. Look for a version string such as V1.0.0.r20042 or earlierAffected if The firmware version is 1.0.0.r20042 or earlier, or any version less than 1.0.0.r20044
-
Verify the Python configuration function is accessibleAttempt to access the Python configuration endpoint on the device (typically via the web interface at /python or /cgi/python-config, or check if the feature is listed as enabled in the device status page)Affected if The Python configuration interface is exposed and does not require authentication
-
Check network exposure of the management interfaceDetermine if the device management interface (HTTP/HTTPS ports) is directly accessible from untrusted networks or the internet by reviewing firewall rules and network configurationAffected if The management interface is reachable from untrusted networks without VPN or access controls
The device is affected if it is an IR912 or IR915 model running firmware version 1.0.0.r20042 or earlier (less than 1.0.0.r20044) and the Python configuration function is accessible.
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 · scoped1.0.0.r20044
Apply vendor firmware updates when available; until then, restrict network exposure of affected devices and implement network segmentation to limit attack surface.
Firmware version 1.0.0.r20044 or later for IR912l Fq58 and IR915l Fq39 S
- 1. Obtain the firmware update from InHand Networks official support channels (www.inhand.com)
- 2. Ensure you have a backup of the current device configuration
- 3. Access the device management interface (web GUI or CLI)
- 4. Navigate to the firmware upgrade section
- 5. Upload and apply firmware version 1.0.0.r20044 or later for IR912/IR915 models
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful and the device is functioning normally
- 7. Restore configuration if needed and confirm the vulnerability is remediated
