Description
A flaw has been found in GL.iNet GL-MT3000 up to 4.4.5. The impacted element is the function logread.set_config of the file /usr/lib/oui-httpd/rpc/logread of the component Logread Lua RPC Plugin. This manipulation of the argument record_size causes command injection. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure and confirmed the existence of the vulnerability.

Impact

A vulnerability in the Logread Lua RPC Plugin of GL.iNet GL-MT3000 firmware up to version 4.4.5 allows an attacker to manipulate the record_size argument passed to the logread.set_config function. This misuse permits arbitrary command execution on the device. Based on the description, it is inferred that successful exploitation could grant the attacker full control over the router, enabling data exfiltration, device takeover, or denial of service. The weakness is a classic command injection flaw (CWE-74) combined with insufficient input validation (CWE-77).

Affected Systems

GL.iNet GL-MT3000 routers running firmware versions 4.4.5 and earlier are affected. The vulnerability resides in /usr/lib/oui-httpd/rpc/logread. No other vendors or products are mentioned in the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 classifies this issue as High, and the exploitation is already documented and remotely exploitable. The EPSS score of 1.4% indicates a low but non‑zero exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that attackers can reach the vulnerable RPC endpoint over the router’s HTTP interface, and that the level of authentication required depends on the device’s configuration, with the RPC interface typically exposed to the local network.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest GL.iNet firmware (≥4.4.6) as soon as it is released to remove the vulnerable logread.set_config function.
  • Restrict access to the device’s HTTP RPC interface by configuring the router’s firewall or LAN settings so that only trusted IP addresses can reach it.
  • Disable the logread Lua RPC plugin if the device’s firmware allows toggling of services.
  • Monitor the device’s system logs for signs of unauthorized command execution and ensure that intrusion detection is enabled.
