Summary
The WAVLINK WN579X3-D router's web management interface (the wapi.cgi component, port_forward function) is affected. Improper handling of the Name parameter allows an attacker on the network to inject operating system commands, potentially giving them control over the device.

Check whether your setup matches what the bug needs.
Affects WAVLINK WN579X3-D firmware M79X3D.V250402 (M_V250402) Attacker must log in to the device to obtain a valid session cookieWorkaround: The checked facts do not include a workaround. Because the flaw requires a valid login session, limiting who can log in to the router's web administration interface reduces exposure until a fix is available.

Questions about CVE-2026-120196
What does this mean?
The port_forward function in the router's web interface passes input into an OS command without proper checks, so a logged-in user can run commands on the device. The advisory says this gives remote code execution with root privileges.Source: github.com
What should I do about it?
The checked facts do not list a fixed firmware version, so no upgrade target can be given from them. Check WAVLINK's support channels for newer firmware for this model.Source: github.com
Is it being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What if there's no patch?
The checked facts do not include a workaround. Because the flaw requires a valid login session, limiting who can log in to the router's web administration interface reduces exposure until a fix is available.Source: github.com
