# CVE-2026-120280: WAVLINK WN536AX6-A WireGuard protocol.csp wireguard\_cli\_group handler os command injection

Affects WAVLINK WN536AX6-A firmware V260507 in the factory default configuration with FirstLogin=1. No vendor fix is listed in the checked facts.

- Severity: CVSS 10.0 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:P
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Exposure: Default setups

## Summary

The affected software is the WireGuard VPN component of the WAVLINK WN536AX6-A router firmware, specifically its web interface handler for WireGuard client group settings. Because user-supplied group identifier and name input is passed to system commands without proper sanitization, a remote attacker could potentially run arbitrary operating system commands on the device.

## FAQ

### What does this mean?

The WireGuard configuration handler in the router's web interface passes the group_id and group_name values into a system command without proper filtering. A user holding a valid session token can therefore run arbitrary shell commands with root privileges.

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

The checked facts name firmware version V260507 of the WAVLINK WN536AX6-A router, in the factory default configuration where FirstLogin=1 enables passwordless login. To check the firmware version, look at the device's admin interface or system information page. To check the FirstLogin setting, review the device configuration.

### What should I do about it?

The checked facts do not name a fixed firmware version, so no upgrade target is known. Check the WAVLINK support channel for an updated firmware release.

### 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.

### What if there's no patch?

The checked facts list no vendor fix or official workaround. The bug relies on passwordless login being enabled by default, so turning that setting off would remove the easy route to a session token, but the facts do not confirm this as an official mitigation.
