CVE-2026-7690
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 weakness has been identified in Wavlink WL-WN570HA1 R70HA1 V1410_221110. This issue affects the function set_sys_adm of the file /cgi-bin/adm.cgi. This manipulation of the argument Username causes command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Once again the vendors acted very professional and confirms, "that the WN570HA1 firmware version R70HA1 V1410_221110 has been removed from our website." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
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 confidenceThis is a command injection vulnerability in Wavlink WL-WN570HA1 firmware where the set_sys_adm function in /cgi-bin/adm.cgi fails to sanitize the Username parameter before passing it to a system call. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject arbitrary OS commands with root privileges, achieving full device compromise. The CVSS 9.8 reflects the critical severity of pre-authentication remote code execution on an exposed network interface.

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.
-
Confirm device model is Wavlink WL-WN570HA1Access the device web interface and check the status or system information page for the exact model name, or check the device label/physical markingsAffected if The device is a Wavlink WL-WN570HA1
-
Verify firmware versionNavigate to the device web interface status or firmware upgrade page and locate the firmware version string, or check via SSH/Telnet if available using 'cat /etc/version' or similar commandAffected if The firmware version is exactly R70HA1 V1410_221110
-
Check if adm.cgi is accessibleAttempt to access http://<device_ip>/cgi-bin/adm.cgi in a web browser or via curl command. A valid response (even an error or login prompt) indicates the CGI is reachableAffected if The /cgi-bin/adm.cgi endpoint responds to HTTP requests
-
Determine if remote management is enabledIn the device web interface, check the Administration or System settings for remote management access (WAN access) configuration. Look for settings like 'Remote Management', 'Web Management', or 'Admin Access' that may allow access from WAN IP addressesAffected if Remote (WAN) access to the web interface is enabled
A user is affected if they are running firmware version R70HA1 V1410_221110 on a Wavlink WL-WN570HA1 device with the web interface accessible, especially if remote management is enabled

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 · scopedSince the vendor has removed the firmware and discontinued support for this product with no patch available, the recommended remediation is to decommission and replace the affected device with a currently supported model. If the device must remain in service, implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to block external access to the administrative CGI interface.
- The Wavlink WL-WN570HA1 firmware version R70HA1_V1410_221110 is end-of-life and no longer supported by the vendor.
- The vendor has explicitly removed this firmware version from their website and states the affected product is no longer maintained.
- No official patch or fixed firmware version is available for this vulnerability.
- Replace the affected Wavlink WL-WN570HA1 device with a currently supported model from Wavlink or an alternative vendor.
- If device replacement is not immediately possible, network-segment the device behind a firewall with strict access controls to limit remote attack surface.
- Monitor the vendor website for any future security updates, though none are currently announced for this end-of-life product.
